X promoted a trending story on Thursday via its homepage with the headline: “Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles” one problem: the story was fake even worse: the headline + story was created by a new feature powered by X’s own AI chatbot, Grok mashable.com/article/elon...
The AI-generated false headline was promoted by X in its official trending news section.
I literally stood up and walked away after reading this. I can't even imagine having so little thought that you would think that it's okay to set that up. He's so goddamn dense it's a miracle he hasn't turned into a black hole
When they said AI would start WWIII, this is not what I had in mind
Sounds like that chatbot will fit right in!
TELL IT TO EARTH
In fairness its still probably more reliable than Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc. It's lies are the result of incompetence, theirs have malice aforethought and institutional legitimacy.
AI is gonna kill us all.
