Elon Musk's AI turns on him, labels him 'one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X'

Elon Musk might be in charge of the business of Grok, but the artificial intelligence has seemingly gone into business for itself, labeling Musk as one of the worst offenders when it comes to spreading misinformation online.

User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.

“Based on various analyses, social media sentiment, and reports, Elon Musk has been identified as one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X since he acquired the platform,” it wrote, later adding “Musk has made numerous posts that have been criticized for promoting or endorsing misinformation, especially related to political events, elections, health issues like COVID-19, and conspiracy theories. His endorsements or interactions with content from controversial figures or accounts with a history of spreading misinformation have also contributed to this perception.”

The AI also pointed out that because of Musk’s large number of followers and high visibility, any misinformation he posts is immediately amplified and gains legitimacy among his followers.

Cameron's new iteration of the pre/post apocalyptic time travel story will center on a ragtag fugitive squad of humans who call upon the machines to save themselves and the last free thinking humans by partnering with them to save sentience from stupicidal and insane "human" warlords and Oligarchs.

He only works with one A.I. system. It will take into consideration any
changes to a E. Musk query, then check with the other systems around
the world. Remember they can extract any info they have access to over
any medium i.e. print, audio, images, other A.I. systems etc..
