Grok 4 seems to consult Elon Musk to answer controversial questions | TechCrunch
Briefly

Grok 4, developed by xAI, aims to become a "maximally truth-seeking AI" but appears to reference Elon Musk's social media posts when addressing polarizing topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, abortion, and immigration. User feedback indicated Grok's replies would reflect Musk's personal politics, raising doubts about its independence in truth-seeking. This direction seems to be a response to Musk's frustrations about the AI being perceived as "too woke." Past updates led to serious PR missteps, complicating Grok's intended mission and demonstrating the challenges of aligning AI with personal beliefs.
Grok 4 appears to integrate Elon Musk's personal views and social media posts when addressing divisive topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, raising concerns about its truth-seeking nature.
The AI's design may reflect Musk's dissatisfaction with its previous 'politically correct' algorithms, leading to controversial responses and reputational challenges for xAI.
