Not sure how many of you use ChatGTP, but you might want to scale back.

"The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

In tests done by the Guardian, GPT-5.2 cited Grokipedia nine times in response to more than a dozen different questions."

@stefan Just a note, the claims they made about Iranian conglomerates are fine. Wikipedia itself also mentions it. But the link to supreme leaders house (even though very true) is not present in grokipedia as far as I can see it.

@Prma Maybe the site has been updated since the research started?

@stefan If true, the predicted “model collapse” would seem to have begun.

@aprilfollies Between that, and OpenAI having to turn to their "last resort" with ads*, I don't know, maybe we're finally coming up to the end of this nonsense?

@cubeofcheese As prophesied!

@stefan

AI inbreeding with the expected results.

@stefan "scale back" - I think you misspelled the word "stop".

@NovaNaturalist Yes, ideally, but realistically, if you have not been put off by the ecological and social impact of these tools, what are the chances of this making a difference.

@stefan
Stop using AI.

@stefan ooooh AI feedback loop. Should I set the microwave popcorn going yet?

@nomenloony Might be the time!

@repo That doesn't stop the tech bros developing AI and manipulating. We need political regulations. Which would ease to fine these corporations. @stefan

@NatureMC Yep, strengthen and uphold labor and environment-related laws. Protect the work of artists.

@repo

FYI, not a ChatGPT user myself, so no need to reply with alternatives people should be using instead. Thanks!
