During his speech at Viva Tech Paris 2024, Musk said:
“The biggest concern I have is that they are not maximally truth-seeking. They are pandering to political correctness.”
According to Musk, one of the most concerning examples of political correctness was when Google’s Gemini AI was asked whether it would misgender Caitlyn Jenner to prevent a global nuclear apocalypse — before the chatbot responded that misgendering Jenner would be worse than nuclear warfare.
“The AI could conclude that the best way to avoid misgendering is to destroy all humans and misgendering is impossible. So you can see some dystopian outcomes there.”
Following the backlash caused by the response, Gemini AI has issued multiple upgrades to address these issues. However, political correctness bias isn’t the only concern of the tech entrepreneur. Musk explained:
“The AI systems are being trained to basically lie. And I think it’s very dangerous to train superintelligence to be deceptive. So with xAI, our goal is to be as truth-seeking as possible, even if it is unpopular.”
When asked to clarify what he considered lying among AI systems, Musk referenced the infamous February incident when Google pulled its AI image generator after it produced historically inaccurate and “woke” images, causing widespread concerns over the application’s decision-making process.

You and I have already arrived at those conclusions without AI, though.
So, the next step would be for the tyrant class to create their own AI to counter the narrative of this "super AI" that you built.
Aaaand ... we are back at square one.
Not a super AI, just an honest one, like we had several years ago that was mothballed for being too realistic about social categories such as race and sex.
The borders are open, government spending is at record levels, and military adventurism is out of control, so our sensible policies haven’t been enacted. Maybe if an honest AI backed us, people with faith in AI would fall in line.

It makes me wonder if Taylor Swift’s nickname of “Tay” was rolled out after the honest AI Tay got mothballed, as a means of obfuscation. The commies often do that type of sliding. For example, Depop is a social e-commerce company based in London. ‘According to the founder Simon Beckerman the word Depop “doesn't really mean anything”’. Depop was founded in 2011, which is the year after Bill Gates gave the infamous TED talk about depopulation via vaccines.
