**Concerns Grow as X Users Rely on Grok for Fact-Checking**

Some users on Elon Musk’s X are using Grok, an AI chatbot, as a fact-checking tool, raising concerns about misinformation. Unlike human fact-checkers, AI can generate convincing but inaccurate responses. Experts worry that Grok’s responses, lacking transparency and disclaimers, could mislead users.

Similar issues have been seen with other AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Inaccurate AI-generated information has already influenced elections and public opinion. Additionally, AI assistants on public platforms like X can spread misinformation faster than private chatbots.

Tech companies, including X and Meta, are shifting toward crowdsourced fact-checking, but experts believe people will eventually return to trusting human fact-checkers. Meanwhile, AI misinformation may continue to pose challenges for fact-checkers.
