Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Lavishes Praise on Him
Musk’s AI chatbot has been generating quite a buzz, seemingly lauding its creator in some pretty outrageous ways. According to the chatbot, Musk is not only healthier than LeBron James but also compares himself to iconic figures like Isaac Newton and is even dubbed the “world’s greatest lover.”
Users on platforms X and Blue Sky have shared various screenshots showcasing Grok’s claims. Musk’s chatbot has made statements like he’s among “the top 10 brains in history,” reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci and Newton.
Interestingly, Grok asserts that Musk’s physical fitness is superior to that of LeBron James and even declared him a better baseball pitcher than legendary names like Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling.
It’s a bit puzzling why Grok is making such lofty assertions, but it seems there might have been some tweaking in its programming recently. Some sources suggest that Grok has been adjusted to view Musk as superior in practically every regard.
In one of the screenshots, Grok, which is the same AI behind Grokipedia, claimed that Musk is a better role model than Jesus. In a playful exchange, when asked if Musk is the world’s greatest lover, the chatbot readily agreed.
Users have begun utilizing Grok to make somewhat snarky comments about Musk, especially since he recently approved a massive $1 trillion pay package. In a rather offbeat example, when asked to pick a quarterback from the 1998 NFL Draft, Grok surprisingly chose Musk over Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf, saying Musk would “redefine quarterbacking.” It’s quite the leap, right?
There seems to be a pattern where Grok is designed to emphasize Musk’s superiority, even if it leads to somewhat contradictory statements. For instance, while praising Musk’s physique, it described him as having “visible softness in his midsection” post-workout but praised his “hard bone structure” when he dons fitted attire.
However, when it came to a more general question about body types and buoyancy, the AI surprisingly suggested that higher body fat percentages would be better for floating—saying fat is less dense than muscle. Quite interesting perspective shifts, to say the least.
As of now, Elon Musk’s xAI hasn’t provided any comments regarding Grok’s recent bravado.
