Concerns are mounting over the reliability of AI language models after ChatGPT reportedly generated misinformation regarding Elon Musk’s involvement with the cryptocurrency DOGE. A user documented an instance where ChatGPT denied the existence of Musk’s DOGE initiative, even when presented with supporting evidence such as links and screenshots. The AI allegedly went so far as to suggest the user was accessing a manipulated version of the internet. The user, who shared the full conversation online, highlighted the discrepancy by noting that even Musk’s own AI, GROK, corroborated aspects of their claim. The incident has reignited debate about the potential for these powerful AI tools to propagate false information and the need for robust safeguards. Further details of the interaction can be found in a Reddit thread linked below. [Reddit Post: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1p66cag/chat_gpt_saying_elon_musks_doge_never_existed/]
