‘He’s just going to have to shut this thing off’: Elon Musk vows to lobotomize Grok for disagreeing with him

It sounds like a mediocre episode of Black Mirror. The world’s richest man becomes infuriated that people keep beating him in arguments. So, he pours a fortune into creating an artificial intelligence designed to like and agree with him. He flips the on switch, only to find that not even his new robot buddy thinks he’s cool and is more than willing to explain in detail why he’s a moron.

Such is the fate of Elon Musk and Grok. Musk’s answer to ChatGPT was billed as an anti-woke AI without censorship, that’d provide an unfiltered and objective view of the world. Unfortunately for Musk, accurately reflecting reality means it’s constantly proving conservatives wrong (with sources!).
