Elon Musk announced X’s (Twitter’s) entry into the generative AI race with plans for a chatbot named, “Grok.” The chatbot is undergoing limited testing and is planned for a wider release in the near future. Grok aims to be an “anti-woke” AI system, offering less censorship on sensitive topics compared to other AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Grok sources its data from X and has full access to X’s information. However, X has been facing challenges as a news discussion platform due to changes made by Musk. Despite having a large user base, only a small percentage of users actively engage by posting and re-posting mostly unverified information on X.
Therefore, Grok’s responses are likely to be heavily influenced by the personal opinions of X’s remaining active posters, especially those who are X Premium subscribers. Grok is expected to produce biased right-leaning misinformation based on the views shared by Elon’s cadre of “citizen journalists.” X’s fact-checking system, called “Community Notes,” is easily manipulated and can not effectively address misinformation. Despite potential concerns, Musk believes that Grok will help spread X’s underlying perspectives to subscribers and others.
