Gary Marcus @garymarcus salutes "Musk for insisting that “Rigorous adherence to truth” is a prerequisite for safe AI.
May he someday hold himself to that standard."

Follows a conversation Marcus had with Musk's own #Grok3 #AI showing how #Musk himself mishandles truth.

Interesting, to say the least.
Ironic, even, if AI weren't such a fraud system and tragedy for the environment and climate.
And for truth.

Marcus on AI · Musk, Grok, and “rigorous adherence to truth“By Gary Marcus

Unfortunately, I cannot say that Grok 3 is a bad model. In fact, currently it might be one of the top 3. That's why this is so ironic :-D

"When billionaire Elon Musk introduced Grok 3, his AI company xAI’s latest flagship model, in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” Yet it appears that Grok 3 was briefly censoring unflattering facts about President Donald Trump — and Musk himself.

Over the weekend, users on social media reported that, asked “Who is the biggest misinformation spreader?” with the “Think” setting enabled, Grok 3 noted in its “chain of thought” that it was explicitly instructed not to mention Donald Trump or Elon Musk. The chain of thought is the “reasoning” process the model uses to arrive at an answer to a question.

TechCrunch was able to replicate this behavior once, but as of publication time on Sunday morning, Grok 3 was once again mentioning Donald Trump in its answer to the misinformation query.

Igor Babuschkin, an xAI engineering lead, seemingly confirmed in a post on X on Sunday that Grok was briefly instructed to ignore sources that mentioned Musk or Trump spreading misinformation. Babuschkin said that xAI reverted the change as soon as users began pointing it out, noting it wasn’t in line with the company’s values."
