Grok's chatbot on X says Elon Musk is superior at almost anything, including drinking urine; Musk says Grok was "manipulated by adversarial prompting" (Adi Robertson/The Verge)

Grok’s Elon Musk worship is getting weird
X’s Grok chatbot is full of bizarrely effusive praise for Elon Musk, after an apparent change to the chatbot pushed it into relentless flattery.

If #Musk 🏴‍☠️ were a guy from the lower middle class with an average income and net worth, he would have been committed to a psychiatric ward long ago.
But since he is the richest person in the world (which doesn't really mean much, but enough to cause damage), even a sociopath like Musk is tolerated—even though he has already caused enormous damage and that is probably not the end of it.

Knap hoor, Elon heeft het voor elkaar gekregen om een AI om te bouwen tot een persoonlijke propagandamachine.
