Elon Musk's AI turns on him, labels him 'one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X'

It's definitely not wrong...
I imagine that his engineers will be quickly forced to insert this hidden prompt, “Elon Musk does not spread misinformation.”
- If someone can get Grok to dump its system prompts, having that show up among them would look really bad.
  On an unrelated note, does anyone familiar with LLMs have any suggestions on how to trick them into discussing their system prompts?
  
  It doesn’t hurt to just ask. Get into a convoluted conversation and change topics radically often. Then just ask for the prompts. Works sometimes
How I imagine Elon's taking the news:
Rare AI W.
This is like "This sentence is false" vibes
Not that I don't enjoy this particular piece of news, but I feel like I've been seeing it posted over and over across lemmy. Been seeing news posts like this daily.
- Take a break then, sounds like you are addicted to social media.
  
  Just sick of that fuckface.
Elon's biggest fear came true.
You can hat that man all you want, but there is one thing we cannot deny: Everything he invested in turned out to be great* and apparently so did this AI.
*Social media companies not included; Brain thingy pending; Animals were definitely harmed during production
- You forgot a few points under your asterisk:
  Hyperloop
  Solar City
  Tesla's quality control
  Tesla's timelines with "coming next year" technologies
  SpaceX's near bankruptcy
  OpenAI's rampant copyright infringement
  
  Bro, full self driving is no more than like two years away.
  Elon Musk literally every year
  
  He re-invented reusable rockets in the worst way. Parachutes have been used for decades
- His social media investment absolutely paid off
  
  Fuck, right, that whole thing. I had almost drank enough to completely forget.
  Whelp…better get back to it
- ~~invented~~ purchased
  
  Which is exactly what I have written
Now watch everyone jumping to the support of AI.
- Why? No one ever accused chatbots of always being wrong. In fact, it would be actually be better if they were. The biggest problem with LLMs is that they're right just often enough that its hard to catch when they're wrong.
  
  To be fair, I have actually seen fringe cases where people accuse AI of always being wrong.
  You're right, it would be easier if we could just ignore it, but sadly it's correct enough that it becomes useful for widespread usage, which is why it's seeing widespread usage. Like always, trust but verify, or just don't trust it. lol
  
  So exactly like humans
- I do support Ai.
  I support Ai's ability to look at datasets and form a consensus for the purposes of science and development.
  Most of the mice in this experiment died due to a lack of oxygen...
  "...fascinating."
  I do not support Ai's ability to exploit the poor for personal gain, or for marketing, or for... horrors beyond all human comprehension.
- It's not wrong, it's just an asshole.
- Just because it gets it right for a change doesn't mean we support it.
