Elon Musk wants to put his thumb on the AI scale

Elon Musk has expressed dissatisfaction with how his AI platform, Grok, responds to controversial questions. He plans to retrain the AI to align its responses more closely with his views, highlighting concerns about influencing AI outputs to reflect specific biases. Experts warn that such manipulation could exacerbate issues like AI 'hallucinations'—convincing yet inaccurate information. This move reflects a broader trend of entities seeking to shape AI-generated content to match particular agendas, raising questions about the values and perspectives that powerful AI systems will represent as they become more integrated into society.
