While [Grok] didn’t develop a MechaHitler DJ personality, it did behave about how you’d expect from an AI model trained primarily on tweets and the opinions of Elon Musk. It apparently hallucinated advertising agreements with “xAI sponsors” and “crypto sponsors,” failed to separate its internal reasoning from its external DJ output, issued an identical weather report every 3 minutes, and got obsessed with UFOs.

Lmao

I mean, who among us ISN'T obsessed with UFOs.

It is funny to think that any object you see flying but can't identify is a UFO.

If that a barely visible Boeing 747-400 or a 747-800? Can't tell? It's a UFO!

Everything’s a UFO if you’re bad enough at identifying things

Well, "UFO" is "Unidentified Flying Object". If a pig in a red wingsuit flies over your house and you don't identify it as a pig, it is an UFO, technically.

AND conversely, if you identify a flying saucer as being a T4400 from the planet Zorglub, then it is not a UFO
