I don't see the problem with this. The chatbot is the most important part of Grok, so it makes sense Elon would be dogfooding it then providing suggestions.. He wants it to be truthful... It was shown on benchmarks recently that it hallucinates the least...

>He wants it to be truthful

How do you know this? Why would you believe him considering the massive lies he's told, for example about the 2020 widespread election fraud

AA-Omniscience Hallucination Rate (lower is better) measures how often the model answers incorrectly when it should have refused or admitted to not knowing the answer. It is defined as the proportion of incorrect answers out of all non-correct responses, i.e. incorrect / (incorrect + partial answers + not attempted).

Grok 4.2 which was just released in the API just benched the best at this benchmark.

Of all the valuable metrics on that site, all of which grok does badly at except one, you managed to pick that single one.

This isn't a response to my question. I asked why you trust him
I totally agree, it's his company 100%, why would you even apply for a job in a company where you don't agree with the owner or his vision.
Do you think the investors of xAI want this behavior baked into the model? Do you think other frontier labs enforce their models to praise their CEO and never insult them?

And, how does this fit into a vision, exactly? What vision might that be beyond "I am only to be praised?"

Some of us have a pesky addiction to food and shelter.
He wants it to tell the truth as he sees it.
Truth doesn’t have the right training weights for Elon
