Thank you, truly appreciate it. Fwiw I kind of think the Swedish Academy is getting the fate it deserves -- the awarding of its cherished prize treated as trashy performance art.

LLMs are black boxes but it seems fair to conclude that Grok used Janine's posts to form its opinion of her and failed to discern that her use of "I'm Jewish" was not a reference to her own lineage but a quote from a story she linked to. A fifth grader wouldn't make that mistake.

Grok hadn't mentioned my article in its first response, so I wondered what was going on. I vaguely recalled that Janine retweeted my article in 2024, so I checked her timeline and yes, bingo, she had done so and quoted my "I'm Jewish" line.

Someone then asked if she was actually Jewish, and Grok fessed up that it "misattributed" my Washington Post story -- headlined "I'm Jewish, and I've covered wars. I know war crimes when I see them" -- to her.
