“Hypocrisy noted,” Grok called out Elon Musk while the billionaire was arguing with Sam Altman over accusations against Apple

Playing around with AI chatbots is always fun, like when some scientists recently managed to bypass ChatGPT’s security features. But using Grok against Elon Musk – that’s on a whole other level. Sure, people rely on AI way too much, even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted it, so it’s smart not to trust it blindly. But taking someone’s “perfect” creation and using it to make a point is just priceless. And that’s exactly what someone did with Elon Musk.

AI, algorithms, and a dash of hypocrisy

The recent feud between Sam Altman and Elon Musk started yesterday, when Musk posted some serious accusations against Apple on X:

Not long after, Sam Altman got involved by posting his point of view in the matter:

Next thing you know, Elon Musk left a harsh comment under Altman’s post, complaining that his posts were getting far fewer views. Altman replied, asking Musk to sign a statement confirming he had never altered the X algorithm to hurt competitors or benefit his own companies. Then, someone asked Grok to verify who was right, but using the right command made all the difference.

Grok’s searches showed that Musk’s posts actually got a boost from algorithm changes, and it wrapped it up with a simple: “Hypocrisy noted.” The whole thing quickly caught attention on Reddit, where an interesting debate unfolded, with Grok right in the spotlight.
