So this is a story that says BYD has got to a yearly sales figure of 40,000 in Australia after 3 years, while it took Tesla 8 years to reach 40,000.
Really comparing Apples to Watermelons, as the EV market has grown massively in the past three years, and Tesla are still the market Leader. Reckon BYD may overtake them, but it is a poor headline.
It’s just Cosplaying at this point in time. Very bad cosplaying.
It’s also cringe at 300% volume.
I’m fairly sure you could get it to spit out something almost identical but politically reversed if you phrased the question appropriately.
Grok and similar generative ai bots can’t and don’t evaluate truth objectively. All they can do is recombine and regurgitate words they’ve seen elsewhere. The more often something is stated, true or not, the more likely Grok is to spit it back out at you. And of course if you don’t like the first answer you get, you can nag it and retry until you get one you do.
Claims by the AI like that regarding the training of the bot are a messy one for twitter’s PR. Either the bot has been politicised by the company, or it is massively inaccurate and shouldn’t be trusted.
That would certainly be true, if Twitter PR actually existed in any meaningful way any more, or answered questions from journos etc.
They’ll just ignore it completely. Questions will be asked, but not answered. If it gets real traction, musk will get his devs to put a shadowban on the topic on Twitter, and to put an override in grok so it answers more to his liking in future.
Doesn’t seem to different to humans.
