My experience as well.
I asked Grok if the family birthday image posted by Maye Musk could have been generated by AI and Grok refused to say that it was a possibility.
Multiple news outlets independently verified that the label "Made with AI" was on the original image before being edited.
In Grok's latest incarnation it admits the label "Made with AI" existed in the original but refuses to say that this means that it was made with AI.
Whatever Elon or his ghost accounts (his mom's account being one of them) is taken as gospel by Grok.
I can't stand that and I don't want to use a product from someone who does nazi salutes, flashed white power symbols on SNL and funds far right political parties around the world.
