Grok sucks, but not completely, and another prediction of AI-mageddon

[edit source]

Sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit, qui in ea voluptate velit esse, quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum, qui dolorem eum fugiat, quo voluptas nulla pariatur?


At Nieman Journalism Lab, Bill Adair (journalist) says "If Grok...were a student in one of my writing courses, I would give it a D" and it "can't write worth a lick", and finds "a mush of buzzwords" in his own Grok biography, the verbosity of which would "help someone suffering from a sleep disorder". But he says that Grok "shows that AI is actually pretty good at finding tidbits in the far corners of the internet" and, though "clueless" at good writing, is an example of technology that "can be a tool that helps [humans] research and write better articles". [1]

And at The Tufts Daily, "The Death of Wikipedia" says "The biggest threat to Wikipedia's survival, AI, is likely the online tool, rife with misinformation, that we first assumed Wikipedia would be."
