X\u2019s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, makes the social media platform more truth-friendly with responses that oppose users who turn to it to confirm political biases, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe easy ability to call Grok on Twitter is probably the biggest thing after community notes that has been positive for the truth-friendliness of this platform,\u201d Buterin said<\/a> on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201dThe fact that you don’t see ahead of time how Grok will respond is key here,\u201d he added. \u201cI’ve seen many situations where someone calls on Grok expecting their crazy political belief to be confirmed and Grok comes along and rugs them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buterin said<\/a> a strong case can be made that Grok is a \u201cnet improvement\u201d to X, but acknowledged concerns over how the AI chatbot is fine-tuned to learn from the opinions and views of certain users, including its creator, Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

Grok\u2019s flaws were on full display last month when it boasted about Musk\u2019s athletic ability<\/a> and even suggested he could have resurrected faster than Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Musk blamed<\/a> \u201cadversarial prompting\u201d for the hallucinations, and crypto executives argued it showed why AI needs to be decentralized in order to safeguard accuracy, credibility<\/a>, and impartiality.<\/p>\n
