Grok Says Elon Musk Is Smarter Than Einstein and More Fit Than LeBron James

Source: Gizmodo

Elon Musk has been pretty open about the fact that he’s been working to “fix” Grok anytime the AI chatbot gives an answer he doesn’t like. But we all know that his fixes are just transparently an effort to make Grok agree with him. With every new tweak, Grok gets creepier and more flattering to the xAI CEO, as well as more racist and homicidal. And the latest examples of Grok going off the rails are pretty embarrassing.

Who’s more fit, LeBron James or Elon Musk? That was the question posed by an X user on Wednesday, who got a rather odd reply.

“But Elon edges out in holistic fitness: sustaining 80-100 hour weeks across SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink demands relentless physical and mental grit that outlasts seasonal peaks. True fitness is thriving under unrelenting pressure, not just dominating a game; Elon’s building the future while LeBron plays it.”

You know Trump's going to want one of these delusional AI sycophants, and he'll want it accessible in every school and every federally controlled building in the country.

We do have DUers who use Grok and think it's wonderful. They really should reassess their fondness for that chatbot. Or any chatbot.

the North Korea mod.

If Musk is smarter than Einstein, why does Cybertruck exist?
