Please tell me it wasn't AI. (which is notoriously off target many times: https://www.the-independent.com/news/hea...03992.html )
So, anecdotal evidence that a multi-billion-dollar AI industry supported by various tech giants is completely useless in one of its major functions because a news article says some dumbass self-diagnosed with Chat GPT?
OK, if you say so
Which is not the AI service used, and Grok can cite the 24 web page sources where the figures which Grok pulled the information from, as well as the X.com posts with the pertinent information, if you like?
Below is just a list of webpages, but the link will show ALL the sources referenced, so even though the quote is an amalgamation of information, one can search the 52 different sources used. Which is probably more sources than the FREE Chat GPT uses for how to get sodium out of your diet. That supposedly is the value of Grok, not only does news sources, but it will pull posts discussing those news sources as well.
