Musk will have "the entire corpus of human knowledge" rewritten to correct "errors" and then retrain Grok AI on that

Ron Filipkiwski posted a screenshot of what Musk tweeted a few hours ago - his plan to keep Grok from giving answers he considers too woke. Including, certainly, its identifying him as the biggest spreader of misinformation on X.

He didn’t like the answers it was giving, so he’s starting over.

These attacks on woke AI etc. seem theatrical to me.

He was somewhat normal / apolitical maybe even liberal some years ago. He needs to go back to that.

Not on Xtwitter, don't want to be, but when I see a post from there, I often wonder what some of the replies were.

was getting from Grok. Sorry. I haven't logged in to Twitter for a few days, but the Mirror article I linked to above said people on Twitter were comparing his plan to Orwell's 1984. And I linked in another reply here to a Reddit thread about that tweet with a lot of replies.

well at least Musk is dumb enough to flag such insidious changes. Anyone who thinks the other AIs are safe from manipulation to serve the needs of the billionaire paying the huge training bills is naive. The others will just not talk about it.
