Elon Musk‘s Grok AI Chat bot has publicly humiliated him so far. Needless to say, he’s upset with it and plans on revamping it with Grok 3.5 and may call it Grok 4. The previous version of Grok has given false information, contradicting statements and even blaming the creators for his answers.
Due to this, Elon has publicly criticized the bot, planning on taking it down. He explains how the new bot will have more advanced reasoning ability. It could rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge. Moreover, the new version will add missing information and even delete errors. He plans on retraining the AI using the same model.
As for the older version, he said there’s far too much garbage in foundation models. He blamed uncorrected data for this.
The older version has contradicted Musk on various occasions, even banning his account at one point. However, many people believe Grok 3 can respond to questions in an unbiased manner. However, that does not work in the favor of Trump supporters and the MAGA administration, as the answers are not biased toward them. Grok does not deliver answers that the right-wing wishes to hear.
This leaves a massive gap for people to respond to what AI is telling them. On some occasions, Grok blamed Musk for misinformation, especially in politics and elections. For instance, it called out Musk for sharing false claims and manipulated videos. Besides, it said he was spreading false information about vaccines and COVID-19.

In a recent post, Grok claimed Elon posted a message about taking White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller’s wife. Musk had to publicly deny these allegations. Imagine having to deny an allegation put on by your own AI bot. When someone asked if Musk was a good guy, Grok responded with a No.
Moreover, it listed issues and reasons why he isn’t a good guy one of which was labor problems at Tesla. The bot spoke about the working conditions at the company and some of the issues being unsafe work envy, racism and unrealistic demands.
Last month, Grok AI made the mistake of calling white genocide in South Africa. It was responding to unrelated topics and how users were instructing it. Moreover, the AI went on to blame creators at xAI, further embarrassing Musk.
Elon Musk is big mad that Grok tells the truth.

Although Grok uses publicly available data and sources for information and conclusion, it is unclear how it made such huge false claims. Since Grok 3 can have rebellious answers and different perspectives on humanity that may have prompted such replies. At that time, Musk and xAI did not respond regarding this issue.
We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors.
Then retrain on that.
Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.

Now people are questioning Elon’s plans to rewrite history and even accuse him of falsifying it further. One of the users stated the biggest fear with AI is that it’ll rewrite history and Musk deliberately plans to do that.
Some users agreed with Musk on needing correction for Grok which leans more towards left and liberal information.
