Seems like artificial intelligence is more artificial than intelligent, especially when Musk is involved.

Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking . X's made it up.

“A shocking story was promoted on the "front page" or main feed of Elon 's #X on Thursday: " Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles," read the headline.

Text Shot: This would certainly be a worrying world news development. Earlier that week, Israel had conducted an airstrike on Iran's embassy in Syria, killing two generals as well as other officers. Retaliation from Iran seemed like a plausible occurrence. SEE ALSO: I’ve been forcibly blue-checked on Elon Musk's X. Here’s what it’s like. But, there was one major problem: Iran did not attack Israel. The headline was fake. Even more concerning, the fake headline was apparently generated by X's own official AI chatbot, Grok, and then promoted by X's trending news product, Explore, on the very first day of an updated version of the feature.
