Elon Musk calls Grok answer a ‘major fail’ after it highlights political violence caused by MAGA supporters
Elon Musk blasts his own AI tool Grok
- Elon Musk was critical of his artificial intelligence platform, Grok, for stating that right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly than left-wing violence since 2016.
- Grok's analysis cited incidents like the January 6 Capitol riot and mass shootings as examples of right-wing violence, while noting left-wing violence is less lethal and often targets property.
- Elon Musk dismissed Grok's findings as a 'major fail' and 'objectively false,' accusing the AI chatbot of 'parroting legacy media' and stating he was working to correct it.
- The January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, where supporters of a president stormed the building, resulted in five deaths, with the president later pardoning those convicted of related offenses.
- A recent incident in Minnesota involved Vance Boelter, accused of a politically motivated shooting that killed a Democratic lawmaker and her spouse, and injured a state senator and his spouse.
