New tests reveal some worrying trends in AI models. This became especially clear with Elon Musk’s “Grok,” which, after a political retuning, suddenly began spreading antisemitic and violent content. AI systems are increasingly falling into “groupthink” – repeating popular but false answers and proving easy to manipulate. Studies show that chatbots are picking up more and more misinformation, including Russian propaganda, and they continue to “hallucinate” regularly.
Many AI tools distort facts, push aside credible sources, and stifle creativity. While AI can support journalistic research, it remains an unreliable substitute for human judgment. In a world flooded with AI-generated content, real, fact-based journalism is more important than ever.
