This time it's not an onion. I love how close this is to the Onion's "Elon Musk's AI turns on him" story from a few days back

Seem like "his" AI isn't that bad after all, eh?

Still wouldn't wanna use it but it's something I guess

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Does this mean Musks AI will get sued by Trumps DOJ for using the label “misinformation” per Trumps 1A speech?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

Do whatever you want, but this kind of thinking will get you nowhere. Especially nowadays.

They don't care about even appearing consistent. It doesn't matter anymore, they won. Now they do what they want.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Got a link to the Onion story? Couldn't seem to find it.

[-] dave@feddit.uk 10 points 5 hours ago

User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.

(my emphasis) That’s a terrible typo…

So nowadays AI is more intelligent as the usual shareholder and president?

[-] babybus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

And it is more intelligent than an average voter too.

CEOs haven't realized they're actually the people that are easiest to replace with AI.

May sound like a joke to some but there have been studies on this coming to the same conclusion:

Same study, but alternate link with more text:

I hate Elon Musk as much as the next guy - and all the more now that he has this massive conflict of interest working in his favor and at the American public's expense.

But I will say this for the sake of exercizing critical thinking: everybody is happy to say AI hallucinates when what it says doesn't suit their narrative, and call AI intelligent when it does.

[-] bloup@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 5 hours ago

Sure, but if you’re trying to make money off of this technology and it openly starts criticizing you, there isn’t really an explanation where you look good.

I feel sorry for satire writers in the last decade or so, it must be genuinely difficult to come up with stuff more bizarre than reality.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 57 points 11 hours ago

I…worked on this story for a year…and…he just…he generated it out.

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 22 points 11 hours ago

I feel bad to exist in this timeline with all the "bizarre stuff,"

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 17 points 10 hours ago

I now understand how "may you live in interesting times" is such a bad thing.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

I just feel bad. Just in general. Wake up. Feel bad.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 89 points 11 hours ago

The smackdown from his own AI system, ironically, came soon after Musk touted the system to his followers in a tweet reading “Use Grok for answers that are based on up-to-date info!”

Beautiful.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Et tu, Grok?

[-] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 48 points 11 hours ago

And suddenly billionaires are no longer interested in AI.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 35 points 10 hours ago

I'm waiting for the "AI is democrat communism" talking points

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

"AI is woke."

[-] bulwark@lemmy.world 40 points 11 hours ago

"Mirror mirror on the wall, who spreads the most misinformation of all?"

[-] teh_shame@infosec.pub 28 points 11 hours ago

It didn’t turn on him, it surpassed him

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

Oh how the turn tables.
