Last weekend, Elon Musk shared some images on his X platform that he claimed had been created by the Grok AI system. They were actually just edits of original work by Australian artist Charles Brooks, a former concert cellist who is known for photographing the insides of instruments. An X user named Eric Jiang had run some of these through Grok, adding people to the original photos so they look like buildings. Musk retweeted the post with the comment "Generate images with @Grok." @404mediaco's Matthew Gault spoke with Brooks. “I feel like, if he’s plugging his own AI software, he has a duty of care to make sure that what he’s posting is actually attributed correctly and is properly his,” he said. “But ‘duty of care’ and Musk are not words that seem to go together well recently.”

🤣…Though #Trump appears to support #AI, that does not mean AI supports him….
To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of 5 leading AI models — #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT; #Anthropic’s #Claude; X/ #xAI’s #Grok; #Google’s #Gemini; & #Perplexity — to verify Trump’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions.…
AI discredited ALL the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking him with startling accuracy & objective rigor.
