The editor of Downcodes reports: Social media platform This feature allows users to get an AI-generated account summary by clicking a button next to their username. However, this new attempt led by Elon Musk has attracted widespread attention due to its unsatisfactory performance. The Grok model has exposed many problems in terms of information accuracy and practicality.
Social media platform It is reported that this function is Elon Musk’s latest attempt to test the Grok model AI function on the X platform since the launch of xAI last year.
The feature allows paying users to get an AI-generated account summary by clicking a button next to their username or display name. However, the actual use effect is not satisfactory. In multiple tests, Grok either provided overly general information or was completely wrong.
For example, when users asked for information about colleagues Sean O'Kane and Amanda Silberling, Grok only gave general descriptions about the types of posts they made on the platform. Even more shocking, it mistook another colleague, Jagmeet Singh, as a Canadian expert, even though he has rarely published on the topic. In another case, Grok even confused an edtech executive with an Indian cricketer of the same name.
Although the X platform has added a warning to the function to remind users that Grok1.5 version may be wrong, this cannot cover up the obvious flaws of this function. Even without providing false information, Grok failed to provide valuable information beyond the user's public profile.
Considering Grok has access to X platform data, this new feature should provide deeper and more accurate user information. However, current performance falls far short of expectations.
This situation has triggered discussions about the challenges faced by AI in practical applications, especially in terms of information accuracy and usefulness. Analysts believe that the X platform needs to reconsider and improve this function to fully realize the potential of AI technology and provide users with truly valuable information.
The failure case of Grok function warns that AI technology still faces many challenges in practical applications, and the accuracy and practicality need to be further improved. The X platform needs to seriously reflect on and improve its algorithms in order to truly unleash the potential of AI and provide valuable services to users. The editor of Downcodes will continue to pay attention to the subsequent updates and improvements of this function.
