In reference to a post alleging Google's interference in the US elections, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, expressed his belief that both Google and Meta's platforms, Facebook and Instagram, exhibit strong political bias.
Steven Mackey, a user on X, shared a post presenting reports suggesting Google's meddling in US elections. Mackey emphasized that Google, beyond being perceived as racist, has a history of and continues to interfere in electoral processes.
In response, Musk commented on the post, acknowledging the strong political bias exhibited by Google and Facebook/Instagram. While he found it challenging to ascertain their impact as the decisive factor in any election, he noted their influence on the outcome.
Musk referenced a video depicting Google executives conducting a post-election "struggle session" after Trump's victory, finding it unsettling.
Addressing another post showcasing screenshots of Gemini's response regarding Caitlyn Jenner's misgendering, Musk criticized Google's AI, describing its response as sheer insanity. He predicted that while Google might refine its AI to appear less biased in the future, the underlying prejudice would persist.
He further elaborated that AI tends to reflect the biases of its creators, underscoring the potential dangers if AI were to govern the world, citing the Google AI example as a clear illustration.
Lastly, Musk advocated for a truth-seeking approach as the best strategy for ensuring AI safety, emphasizing the importance of maximal truth-seeking efforts.
