Users have begun turning to Grok for rapid fact-checking, especially during critical events. Following images posted by California Governor Gavin Newsom regarding National Guard troops, many X users sought verification from Grok, an AI integrated into the platform. The AI inaccurately claimed the images were from previous events. Non-partisan fact-checkers later confirmed the images were authentic. Grok's integration enables immediate user access to AI responses but raises concerns due to frequent inaccuracies in its fact-checking capabilities, which have become a norm during breaking news events.
Grok's integration into X allows immediate access to real-time AI answers, reshaping user behavior since its March launch, but often provides convincing yet inaccurate responses.
Grok's AI responded to a tweet by claiming images of National Guard soldiers were recycled from 2021, leading to erroneous fact-checks consistent with user debates.
