AI Bot Generates Concerning Fake News From Twitter Jokes
- X's AI bot Grok is generating fake news headlines from joke Twitter posts about current events
- Example shows Grok reported "50,000 Cops in Subway Showdown" with earthquake based on joke tweets
- Grok creates news summaries by pulling top posts about a topic then generating article text
