X promoted a trending story on Thursday via its homepage with the headline:
“Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles”

one problem: the story was fake

even worse: the headline + story was created by a new feature powered by X’s own AI chatbot, Grok mashable.com/article/elon...

In fairness its still probably more reliable than Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc. It's lies are the result of incompetence, theirs have malice aforethought and institutional legitimacy.

The written words of the story were created by Grok, but the story itself was created by a bunch of fake Twitter accounts hoping to get it trending.

How many more stories like this will it take for the investor class to realize that AI is a sham both technically and as a thing that will be monetizable with an adequate ROI? I actively avoid this AI shit as much as possible and I'm never paying for copilot, Bard ,Gemini, from, etc..

I wonder at this which time the fake story got popular on X, because this is how the stock market looked later that day. At least an potential escalation was part of the rumor mill that day as another explanation what had caused that drop (besides a interest rate related comment by Neel Kashkari).

Also hilarious- it claimed that that's what happened on October 7th. And that's not even the craziest bit; it said that Iran attacked Israel in retaliation for Hamas having attacked Israel. This is what they get for letting an AI write the news.
