Musk Rails Against Woke And Sanctimonious AI RivalsInsists Grok Musk WinForbes

This is not the first time Musk has attacked rival AI companies. The xAI owner has a long-running public feud with OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altmanincluding a high-profile legal battle. Musk was one of OpenAIs cofounders, but he sued the company and its leadership in 2024, alleging that it was abandoning its foundational goal of developing an open-source Artificial General Intelligence to benefit humanity in favor of chasing profits. This prompted a countersuit from OpenAI, which claimed Musk, in fact, wanted OpenAI to pursue a path to become a for-profit company in 2017, with him serving as CEO. Musk and Altman have repeatedly sniped at each other in public since then, with the most recent being Musk reposting a claim that ChatGPT has been linked to several suicides and writing: Dont let your loved ones use ChatGPT.

I do agree that AI is way overhyped, but that does not exclude Grok.
By definition AI successfully mimics human responses through a text interface.
That is the Turing test in modern terminology.
Not an all purpose substitute for humans or an infallible oracle.
Philosophical questions and implementation details deliberately excluded from the definition.
Just a rumor about Grok (I'm looking into it) --
Kiwi Farms trolls are "educating" Grok about trans people by using their forum as training data.

It's by far the shittiest of the AI models.

Since Grok is a project headed by one of the least qualified person to mimic human responses, Grok is doomed.
Musk is a sad boy who can't relate to humans to the point that his quest for children bypasses the human connection generally used for that goal.
