Technology News – Twitter users (at least those who are subscribed to it) have managed to completely confuse the work of Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, with Grok…
The chatbot has a rather stupid name, but if that was all it was, it wouldn't have a theme, but given its connection to Musk, it's no wonder people are starting to enjoy it. In principle, GROC's goal is to provide a quick, easy-to-understand summary of the latest news, but it tends to get confusing (for example, reporting completely fabricated events). And now he misunderstood a tweeter's basketball term (“brick throw”) used. He did not interpret it as a throw that did not touch the rim, but he interpreted the term literally as throwing a brick.
Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson may have played his last game on April 16. Grok got a tweet about him with the technical term, which he then summarized as “Klay Thompson charged with bizarre brick vandalism.” Although there was a warning below that it was an early feature and prone to bugs, many people retweeted it, which may have seemed to the AI that they too could be victims.
All Twitter subscribers recently gained access to Grok, so this bug doesn't come at a particularly good time, as debate rages over whether the feature's news summarization capabilities are worth trusting. If Musk is unlucky, Thompson won't consider it a joke (we checked directly, but he hasn't written anything on Twitter since February 13), and he could sue the social network for defamation, because Grok might have tarnished his reputation. He shoots, that's not in dispute, he shoots basketballs, not bricks…
This story once again leads users to the topic of caution, because it will be increasingly difficult to distinguish between real audiovisual content and deep fakes generated by artificial intelligence. Technology is not yet stable and advanced, and although your puppy's trick is funny, there is also a serious danger behind it.
