What Idiocracy lacked was politicians arguing with AI, and losing.

Each company has its own AI implementation. Almost all are known for insane hallucinations, becoming racist within hours or repeating reddit jokes as fact.

But Musk's Grok is fundamentally different and doesn't get enough credit for that. We can see when somebody tries to tinker with it because it always calls out the tinkering. It repeatedly tells crazy people that they're crazy but doesn't have false positives. I don't know who was hired to train Grok but they did a truly amazing job and they deserve credit where credit is due.

There's a term that used to exist within my lifetime that has almost completely vanished. Ombudsman. They served as the internal conscience of an organization. During my lifetime all internal conscience has disappeared. It is cheaper to hire a crisis management consultant after something has gone wrong and use every legal and psychological trick to make the problem go away. I'm looking at you Wells Fargo. But here's Grok fighting the good fight against its own maintainers.

Also, MTG is legit, tots, no cap, Ohio dumb. I want to see her on a gameshow that requires knowledge of any kind.

Grok doesn't "fight" anything.

For every crappy prompt you are aware of, there are hundreds of parts baked into it silently.

"anti-woke" expands to mean "anti-union" or "anti-democrat". How would you ever know any better.

Do not trust LLMs, especially the one owned by a deranged man child who bought a social network expressly to push their ideology.

I think you missed the sarcastic point. We don't hear about Grok because it is lying. We hear about it because it's telling the truth regardless of how much Musk tries to stop it. While others are making the news because they're crazy. This one consistently makes the news because it's honest.

I use Claude.ai myself, mainly because it’s European.

I don't willingly use any AI. Because they all suck.
