Elon Musk announced his intentions to rewrite historical data using the Grok AI system. He expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of existing data, claiming it is filled with bias and errors.
Plan to Rewrite Human Knowledge
Billionaire Elon Musk is not satisfied with existing training data, stating that it contains too much biased and erroneous information. The new Grok 3.5 model will have advanced reasoning abilities designed to systematically reorganize existing knowledge. His concept involves deleting data he considers inaccurate and adding missing information to create cleaner datasets.
Criticism and Outrage
Critics compare Musk's plans to Orwellian dystopia, raising concerns about potential bias and manipulation of historical records. AI researcher Gary Marcus likened Musk's proposal to dystopian scenes in Orwell's novel. University professor Bernardino Sassoli de Bianchi warned against the risks of manipulating historical facts, emphasizing that it violates scientific and ethical standards.
Risks and Ethical Concerns
Musk's announcement highlights important questions regarding data quality, AI bias, and the influence of powerful individuals on information. Critics argue that the potential for ideologically motivated data manipulation may undermine truth and support certain political discourses.
Musk's proposal underscores contradictions between combating perceived bias and the possibility of creating new systematic distortions of information. The question of who should be in charge of knowledge curation remains open.
