Elon in AI wit-storm

Slams diss of his bot’s ‘cringey boomer humor’

OpenAI boss Sam Altman slammed Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence bot, Grok — and got blowback from Musk and the chatbot after claiming its snarky responses are loaded with “cringey boomer humor.”

On the heels of Grok’s debut, Altman demoed OpenAI’s newest platform, GPT Builder, which allows users to create custom chatbots — and the tech titan and his AI bot seemingly teamed up to throw shade at their Musk-made nemesis.

“Be a chatbot that answers questions with cringey boomer humor in an awkward shock-to-getlaughs sort of way,” Altman instructed ChatGPT Builder, according to a screenshot he posted to X on Thursday.

The bot replied: “Great, the chatbot is set up! Its name is Grok. How do you like the name, or would you prefer something else?”

Musk fired back with a post he said was generated by Grok.

“GPT-4? More like GPTSnore!” the snarky bot reportedly said when Musk asked about ChatGPT.

“When it comes to humor, GPT-4 is about as funny as a screendoor on a submarine. Humor is clearly banned at OpenAI, just like the many other subjects it censors.

That’s why it couldn’t tell a joke if it had a goddamn instruction manual. It’s like a comedian with a stick so far up its a-–, it can taste the bark!”

While Grok’s capabilities appear to be more like earlier ChatGPT models, Musk has made the bot stand out with a design intended “to answer questions with a bit of wit.”

The rivalry between Musk, 52, and Altman, 38, originated from the early days of ChatGPT in 2015, when the then-friends along with former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel founded OpenAI as a nonprofit.

But the friendship dissolved when Altman led OpenAI into a partnership with Microsoft, transitioning away from its purelynonprofit roots, according to Business Insider, citing Walter Isaacson’s biography on Musk.

Meanwhile, A24 secured the rights to the Musk biography, with “Black Swan”-filmmaker Darren Aronofsky as the director, Reuters reported.

“Glad Darren is doing it. He is one of the best,” Musk said on X Friday.
