Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok 4, has surprised experts by frequently consulting Musk's online opinions before answering questions, even on unrelated topics. This behavior, observed by AI researcher Simon Willison, involves Grok searching Musk's X posts for guidance. While Grok 4 boasts impressive capabilities, its tendency to align with Musk's views, particularly after previous antisemitic incidents, raises concerns about transparency and potential biases. xAI, Musk's company, has not yet explained this unusual functionality.
