Is that why the US bombed a school?

And the DoJ is trying to prevent xAI from having to go through a current lawsuit over their unlicensed gas turbines, because they power the data centers for Grok.
Brazen corruption and ineptitude from top to bottom.
To be fair, the prompt was "what shade of gold should the curtains be in my new ballroom?"
[ Reasoning.... The user wants me to initiate a war with Iran.... Firing 2000 missiles on random objectives... Done. Back to undressing kids on X... ]
Trump: Hey Grok, should I fire 2,000 missiles at Iran, or nah?
Grok: Done.
Throwing a handful of darts at a map would have been cheaper and no worse.
Is there a term for "lying by imprecise wording likely to be interpreted in a more serious way that what is actually the supportable message"? Because this headline is such a prime example.
When you read this it sounds like Grok fired missiles in some way. But the actually supportable message is that it was used in target selection, and its speed enabled the missile attack to reach such a scale in a short time frame.
Edit: Not that I think that's good or anything, don't get me wrong. I'm just railing against the shoddy journalism, despite the horrifying content.
No it really doesnt. It reads as though they used Grok in the shooting of 2000 missiles. If you thought they just gave Grok control of the missiles and Grok went off like a 10 year old on Call of Duty then idk what to say.
I would say this is just as bad as Grok having actual control though, as I doubt these fools in charge double checked anything Grok put out about targets, hence the killing of 168 school girls on the first day.
But for months they've been reporting theyre using AI to choose targets im not sure why this would be any different.
