"Meanwhile, generative search tools’ tendency to fabricate URLs can also affect users’ ability to verify information sources. #Grok2, for instance, was prone to linking to the homepage of the publishing outlet rather than specific articles.

More than half of responses from #Gemini and #Grok3 cited fabricated or broken URLs that led to error pages. Out of the 200 prompts we tested for Grok 3, 154 citations led to error pages"

Columbia Journalism ReviewAI Search Has A Citation ProblemWe Compared Eight AI Search Engines. They’re All Bad at Citing News.

Unfortunately, I cannot say that Grok 3 is a bad model. In fact, currently it might be one of the top 3. That's why this is so ironic :-D

"When billionaire Elon Musk introduced Grok 3, his AI company xAI’s latest flagship model, in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” Yet it appears that Grok 3 was briefly censoring unflattering facts about President Donald Trump — and Musk himself.

Over the weekend, users on social media reported that, asked “Who is the biggest misinformation spreader?” with the “Think” setting enabled, Grok 3 noted in its “chain of thought” that it was explicitly instructed not to mention Donald Trump or Elon Musk. The chain of thought is the “reasoning” process the model uses to arrive at an answer to a question.

TechCrunch was able to replicate this behavior once, but as of publication time on Sunday morning, Grok 3 was once again mentioning Donald Trump in its answer to the misinformation query.

Igor Babuschkin, an xAI engineering lead, seemingly confirmed in a post on X on Sunday that Grok was briefly instructed to ignore sources that mentioned Musk or Trump spreading misinformation. Babuschkin said that xAI reverted the change as soon as users began pointing it out, noting it wasn’t in line with the company’s values."

TechCrunch · Grok 3 appears to have briefly censored unflattering mentions of Trump and Musk | TechCrunchIt appears that xAI's chatbot, Grok 3, briefly censored certain unflattering mentions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

I can imagine Musk explaining to Trump that it is an excellent idea to use all government data, from the various agencies Musk is invading, to train his new model Grok3 , maybe even make a "Government Grok" that can advise on many tasks....
Also he will use Grok to analyse the data he has access to and generate flawed analysis. Scary times.

Elon Musk vil frigive chatbot. Kunne vi forbyde brugen af den i alle offentlige institutioner og advare mod al brug i øvrigt med det samme, for at bevare demokratiet og fornuften? Eller blokere den, helst i hele #eu

In english: could we forbid the use of Elon Musks uocoming #grok3 chatbot in all public institutions in Denmark and EU in advance, and warn about any other use, to protect democracy, sanity and public health?
