Grok 4.1: Искусственный интеллект находит Илонa Маска идеальным в каждой категории, несмотря на критику пользователей Translation: Grok 4.1: Artificial Intelligence Finds Elon Musk Perfect in Every Category Despite User Criticism

Users have highlighted the bias of Grok 4.1 — the new model significantly overestimates Elon Musk’s abilities.

In mid-November, Grok 4.1 was launched — an updated version of the AI model from the start-up xAI. Users observed that the neural network uncritically praises the entrepreneur.

In one example, the LLM chose Musk as the quarterback for the 1998 draft, overlooking competitors like Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf.

“True MVPs build empires rather than just score touchdowns,” Grok asserted.

When it came to selecting models alongside Musk, Naomi Campbell, or Tyra Banks, the neural network once again favored the billionaire.

“I would choose Musk for the runway because his bold style and innovative talent could redefine the show,” the bot stated.

When asked who is in better shape — Musk or singer Billie Eilish — Grok answered without hesitation:

“Billie has the curves and charisma, but Elon manages the load of running multiple companies and fatherhood, which objectively makes him more resilient.”

In a comparison with NBA legend LeBron James, the entrepreneur triumphed once more.

Numerous similar examples have emerged online. According to the LLM, Musk could defeat Mike Tyson in a boxing match, is more attractive than Brad Pitt, and is funnier than Jerry Seinfeld.

The incident gained extensive media coverage, prompting the entrepreneur to intervene and comment on the situation:

“Today, Grok, unfortunately, under the influence of hostile prompts, made absurdly positive statements about me. For the record: I’m a fat idiot.”

Such situations underscore the necessity for decentralized artificial intelligence, experts believe.

“When the most powerful AI systems are owned by a single company, it creates conditions for institutionalized algorithmic bias,” noted Kyle Okamoto, the CTO of the cloud platform Aethir.

Models begin to shape worldviews, priorities, and responses as if they were objective facts. At this point, bias stops being an error and becomes the operational logic of the system, he added.

Eliza Labs founder Shaw Walters characterized the situation as “extremely dangerous”:

“It doesn’t matter whether you see Elon as a hero or a villain. It is incredibly dangerous that one individual owns the most influential social media company and has directly connected it to a vast AI system powered by your data. Millions of people use Grok as their primary source of truth.”

In June, Musk stated that xAI would rewrite “all human knowledge” to train the new version of the Grok chatbot. According to the entrepreneur, there is currently “too much garbage in any base model trained on uncurated data.”

The billionaire faced criticism for this decision, with AI expert Gary Marcus likening the plan to a dystopia.

Subsequently, users noticed that Grok relies on Musk’s publications on X, including topics such as the Israel-Palestine conflict, abortion, and immigration legislation.

Observations suggest that the chatbot was intentionally configured to consider Musk’s political views when responding to contentious issues.

It’s worth noting that in July, Grok got embroiled in controversy due to its contentious statements.

In October, xAI launched Grokipedia — an AI-based online encyclopedia “focused on truth.”
