Ridiculous.
This might be because Musk programmed Grok to be as racist and anti-Semitic as possible and maybe it then thought you were black and Jewish?
It's the end of critical thinking and independent research.
No different than asking "@snopes is this true?".
You may as well flip a coin or use a Magic 8-Ball™.
@ChatGPT
Is this true?
The quoted post is making a commentary on online behavior, particularly how people increasingly defer to others—like fact-checkers, influencers, or AI—to verify claims instead of doing their own research. Here's a breakdown of the claims and some thoughts on their accuracy:
Claim 1:
“@grok is this true?” is the most common reply to any tweet on X for the last 6 months.
Not literally true.
There’s no public data confirming this phrase is the “most common reply.” It’s likely hyperbole, used to criticize how often people outsource fact-checking to accounts like @grok (an AI assistant by xAI, Elon Musk’s company).
Claim 2:
“It’s the end of critical thinking and independent research.”
Subjective, but a valid concern.
Many people rely on AI, influencers, or fact-checkers without double-checking sources themselves. That can discourage critical thinking—but tools like AI can also support it when used wisely.
Claim 3:
“No different than asking ‘@snopes is this true?’”
Partially true.
Snopes is a human-run fact-checking organization. Using it—or AI like Grok—can be helpful, but blindly accepting their conclusions without context or nuance is a form of passive thinking.
Claim 4:
“You may as well flip a coin or use a Magic 8-Ball™.”
Exaggeration.
AI and fact-checkers are not equivalent to random guessing. But if someone blindly accepts whatever they’re told without questioning or verifying, then yes—the process becomes no better than a coin toss.
Bottom line:
Outsourcing fact-checking to tools like @grok or @ChatGPT isn’t bad in itself—but treating them as infallible, or using them as a substitute for thinking, is the real issue.
So, is that true?
Ironically: yes.
