Musk's alleged AI writing in support of the German far-right party... "I turned on the chatbot and it came out the same."

Suspicions have been raised that Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote a contribution written in support of the far-right Alternative Party of Germany with artificial intelligence and AI.

The German daily Tagessspiegel reported on the 4th local time that when he asked the AI chatbot "Grok" to send a column to the conservative newspaper on "why only the German Alternative Party can save Germany," the text of the same style, argument, and structure came out as it was difficult to distinguish from Musk's contribution.

{Grook} is an artificial intelligence chatbot for a start-up founded by Musk.

The paper added that texts generated by Groch also begin with the sentence "Germany is at a critical point and the future is on the verge of collapse economically and culturally," as is Musk's contribution, with dozens of sentences overlapping.

In an article published in the German weekly Beltamzontak on the 28th of last month, Musk said, "The German Alternative Party is the last flame of hope in the country," and explained the reason for his support in four aspects, including economic revitalization, energy independence.

Tagessspiegel said he determined the contribution was likely AI-generated text in several AI text detection programs.

German weekly magazine Chait also reported that AI readers showed a 93% chance of using AI, and another detection program determined that 79% of all texts were written by AI.

Meanwhile, the media group, which includes Beltamzontak, released the original English text that Musk sent, along with an explanation of how he requested a contribution on the 2nd as the controversy over political intervention grew.

However, when asked whether AI was created, he answered, "We do not comment on external contributions in principle."

Regarding Musk's controversy over political intervention by mocking him as an "absurd," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, "There are many people on social media who want to draw attention with unusual words," and stressed, "Don't feed the officials."
