I really think this is the most important basic journalistic error we need to stamp out right now. If you know why Grok can’t comment on anything and also know any journalists, please check in with them and help them understand it too.
I hate this phrasing and how it buys into what is essentially a falsehood about the autonomy of chatbots that is RIGHT NOW deforming our entire law and society. Grok doesn't say anything. That's like saying 'Microsoft Word apologized for losing everyone's files'

This is why when I check in with friends, I apologetically say something like, “You okay? I don’t know where anything is.”
Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.
