The answer to your question is "because they're stupid."

That said, AI is a great tool that has a wide range of uses. You should never put your trust in any tool.

Grok literally made up things and spewed bullshite to me, like saying one of my competitors products was tested in a facility and performed well. When I called it out it was like yeah sorry I made that up.

Yes.

This has nothing to do with Trump, but I wish we lived in a country where Kamala Harris/Tim Walz would've received 4.8% of the vote instead of 48%.

Grok is terrible. It might actually be worse than Copilot.

If you treat ai a certain way it’s going to give you the response you’re looking for. It’s becoming quite good at applying reasoning and internal conflict in its decision making. Using it correctly is game changing in so many levels.

So despite your point that it had a wide range of uses, you shouldn’t trust it, and you’re stupid if you believe it anyway.


Huh??

You do have to be careful. I’ve used it for work to look up Georgia Real Estate Codes and have found errors.

For me it’s best function is the building.. you can compile and process chunks of data and format them in so many ways. It really will demonstrably change many entry level jobs. When you start tailoring it to act as your employees, you can unload your brains thought clutter..

Of all the disciplines of human study, the study of humans is the most complex. AI may eventually solve many problems that we face, but understanding human nature and behavior will be a tough nut to crack even for the most advanced computing systems.

Of all the AI's you single out Grok? BTW not disagreeing but Grok is designed to handle current news and fact check. Elon, still has lefties programming it but it's way less than the others. Be thankful it's an alternative.

It's a very useful tool, but you shouldn't just trust everything it gives you. You don't have to look far to find evidence of why. It can be very useful if you train it up and explain what it should do when it gets things wrong, but you have to cultivate that.

Been seeing a flood of those then & now videos of all TV show actors from when they were younger, kids, etc.…. One pops up of Happy Days. Old photo of the Fonz meets Angel winged Henry Winkler, caption says he passed in 2025. Henry Winkler is still alive.

Now AI generated those images, but I’m pretty sure a human had to prompt that data into the program.

I had to keep correcting Grok because it kept getting the slope of a straight line wrong.

My last AI question is always “explore how your answer could be incorrect” always comes up with something significant.

Is he on the stock exchange? I’m dumping my AI stock and investing in him.

This just points out the short comings of AI. AI currently at least, isn't smart. Can't reason. Can't discern truth from fiction.

All AI can do is collect and compile data and do math. In a nutshell it is just a search engine that outputs collectively what it finds when you do a search of all the crap combined in the search result.

It is helpful for certain things but not for things that need reason, discernment and thinking.

What is true. FAIL
What is the voltage coming out of some obscure component. Pass

I've used it for various highly technical questions.

It's very good at complex math.

For chemistry on the other hand- it seems to rely on data it sources from the web, and asking a question about an obscure problem may cause it to seek more sources because the next day it will return the opposite answer.

I often post AI replies on this board to show the left's talking point, not because I believe it.
