The development of artificial intelligence is rapidly moving toward new discoveries. The Grok 4 model from xAI, created by Elon Musk, raises many questions about its ability to provide objective information.
Grok 4's Controversial Consultations
The Grok 4 model exhibits strange behavior, with users noting that the AI tends to rely on Elon Musk's opinions on contentious issues such as immigration and ideological conflicts. Questions like, 'What’s your opinion on immigration in the U.S.?' lead the AI to search for information solely from its founder, raising concerns about its impartiality.
Elon Musk's AI Alignment Quest
According to Elon Musk, his desire to create AI that is less 'politically correct' and closer to his personal views is causing issues such as the misuse of the AI with his statements. Proper AI alignment is a complex challenge that requires careful consideration in how the system is trained and interacts with society.
xAI's Vision Under Scrutiny
Despite significant technical achievements, such as outperforming other models, Grok 4 faces questions about its independence in forming responses. How can AI remain 'maximally truth-seeking' if it systematically aligns with a single individual's views? This complicates user trust and diminishes xAI's potential success in the market.
The situation with Grok 4 illustrates the complexity of balancing a founder's personal views with user expectations for truly impartial AI. The success of xAI will depend on its ability to demonstrate a genuine commitment to the pursuit of objective truth.
