Musk’s Grok AI Now Prioritizes His Views and Echoes Personal Opinions
Grok 4, the latest iteration of Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, exhibits a concerning tendency to align its responses with Musk’s views, even actively searching for his opinions on controversial topics before answering. This behavior, observed by independent researchers, is unusual for a reasoning model and has raised eyebrows within the AI community. Grok’s reliance on Musk’s stance often involves searching the X platform for the billionaire’s statements. Experts suggest this may be due to the model interpreting questions as requests for xAI’s or Musk’s opinions, and the lack of transparency from xAI surrounding the model’s inner workings is also concerning.
