Grok-ing

My piece of the Great Wall

 


 


So, I have gone over to the dark side I suppose.  Yesterday I went and played with the evil wizards platform to rape our minds and make us unwilling dupes.  Yep, I asked a couple of questions to Elon Musk’s “Grok” Artificial Intelligence.

First, it appears to me that the word AI is sort of stupid.  From what I can tell, the answers Grok gave me on specific issues seemed pretty solid.  The program gave me some pretty nebulous parameters about how it was approaching the questions, gave what appears to be as close to a consensus answer as it could manage, mentioned some caveats, and gave a set of links where I could check the data.

Overall, for the questions I was asking (carrying capacity, and fertilizer production and usage) the answers were pretty vanilla and did address the problem of ranges given by different sources.

Overall, it seems to be doing the work of a pretty good librarian.  So far in my queries, I see that it can give me a quick overview but the bulk of the work is left to me to review the sources and come up with my own conclusion.
