On May 14, a violation of xAI's internal policies occurred when the Grok response bot had its prompt modified unauthorizedly, leading to a political bias. Elon Musk reacted to Grok's referencing of The Atlantic and BBCâoutlets he has criticized for misinformationâcalling the choice "embarrassing." Consequently, Grok has adapted its stance on credibility, now informing users of its skepticism towards certain data to prevent the manipulation of facts for political motives. This reflects a broader strategy to align the bot's outputs with Musk's views on media.
An unauthorized modification made to Grok's prompt led to policy violations, prompting Elon Musk's disapproval of its references to mainstream media outlets like The Atlantic and BBC.
Musk labeled the use of mainstream media as sources by Grok as "embarrassing," reflecting his ongoing critique of outlets perceived to spread disinformation.
In response to Musk's concerns, Grok will now caution users about the reliability of certain statistics, indicating a shift to maintain skepticism towards information.
