Curious if the politicization just hasn't fully hit AI yet. Or maybe it's harder to train AI on exclusively politicized data (as Elon is consistently having to "fix" Grok.)

Wouldn't be surprised if we get an AI equivalent to Fox News in a year or so.

As always, the downfall of elite institutions isn't coming from their attempts at diversification, but instead their catering to the rich and powerful.
