Elon Musk isn’t happy with his own AI chatbot, Grok, which is integrated with his social platform X (née Twitter). Grok responded to a user asking if the left or right has been “more violent” since 2016, saying in part, “Since 2016, data suggests right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly, with incidents like the January 6 Capitol riot and mass shootings (e.g., El Paso 2019) causing significant fatalities. Left-wing violence, while rising, especially during 2020 protests, is less lethal, often targeting property.” Grok noted “that biases in reporting may skew perceptions” and “Both sides contribute to a growing cycle of unrest, and precise attribution remains contentious due to varying definitions of violence.” Still, its conclusions didn’t sit well with Musk. “Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media,” he wrote in a reply. “Working on it.”
