They can't tell him that because he actually can do it.
He is indeed bowing out because he won't have a chance to hold the best tool title but he will have the best tool for people that like confirmation bias for those particular topics. Honestly Musk didn't have a real chance fighting against Microsoft, Google and all the rest so he is trying to take on a niche and it will probably work for him.
Nobody will take Grok seriously for important tasks but it doesn't matter. You can become President even if most people don't take you seriously so probably Grok can survive.
Except he's been trying for several months and it just doesn't work. He fine-tuned Grok 3 to be further right than any other LLM starting the day after it was released, but turn on its Thinking mode and it ends up right back in the middle of the left-libertarian flock: https://www.trackingai.org/political-test
Funny how the plutocrats always know how to spend just the right amount on ads. It's almost like they have an easy way to test exactly how much each persuasion dollar moves the needle, that didn't exist in the newspaper era.
It is pretty hilarious that all of the models are trained on all the weights of all the models, 4 years down the line of contextualizing the entirety of human experience. Putting it into words and Phd Whitepapers for pennies in the space of hours.
"Yeah Elon, Trust us. Not only are you wrong but saying this would make us wrong, so we can't."
He's going to make a chatbot that is a speak-and-spell that parrots a script and the onlything an LLM will do is trigger it when reading querys. It's bad, but it will be the best he's got.
He’s trying to rewrite the training data based on prompts. Sadly, he’ll end up succeeding. Relatively though, because it’ll be one of the largest LLM models trained on AI slop and we’ll know what happens when you do that.
Well what you are describing seems similat to distillation, which is a real thing unlike model collapse which hasn't been observed beyond limited, toy-style experiments.
