Stewart Lee: Using Grok is like believing what your farting uncle says at Christmas Elon Musk’s AI service is so drunkenly, transparently biased that it would be funny – if it weren’t a mortal threat to democracy

This week’s column from Stewart Lee for @thenerve.news www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le.... In which Lee asks Elon Musks “mechahitler” AI Grok to describe Lee’s work. Needless to say, it doesn’t end well. Hopefully the link works. For some reason I am having trouble doing this on my phone 🤪

The double standard couldn’t be clearer.

The left can’t give this media class an inch.
