To me this is the real danger of AI and people putting any trust in it. Unless you made it yourself, you simply have no idea what "end goal" was programmed into the thing.
Summary of the video:
- an account on X posted a fake AI video of a highway in China, claiming it was real.
- the guy in the vid asked Grok, which is X's managing AI, why fake and misinformation content was allowed.
- Grok said the video was real and represented a real highway in China.
- it took an excruciating amount of evidence for Grok to finally acknowledge the video was fake and AI generated, in the meantime it kept insisting it was a real representation of a Chinese highway, with maybe some video enhancements.
- what's probably the most disturbing is that throughout the exchange, Grok kept praising and glamoring Chinese infrastructure, kept bringing up real highways and structures into the exchange when it had nothing to do with the obviously fake video.
- Grok also claimed it tried to be "neutral" and "balance" the discussion
