David RevoyIf they can't get my cat's color right, imagine the errors on more serious topics...

@davidrevoy that's just a light shade of black!
Nartance@davidrevoy after the blackout, the blackarrot
Grokon strikes again
Ronald vd W.@davidrevoy Orange is the new black. 🙄
@ronaldb66 now you mention it, that actually feels a bit like ”The Real Donald goes Winnie the Pooh“.

… has anyone checked whether Grokipedia ”fact-checks“ Garfield as a black Cat as well?
😁
Keeya@davidrevoy I assume since witches tend to have black cats the parrot machine will spit that out with higher probability. It's avian intelligence all over. :p
@keeya Yes, it can be an evidence this 'encyclopedia' hallucinate information by regressing to the mean statistically since witch+black cat is a common trope.
c0r3nn@davidrevoy ...but the Avian Intelligence is always right. 🙃
Stemy@davidrevoy Il y a une faute de frappe dans "grok", il manque le "on" à la fin.
@Stem 🤣 🤣 🤣 lol. Bravo!
Leeloo@davidrevoy
That's a good example of what "AI" really is: Predictive text.
"A witch and her ... cat" - what's the most statistically likely word to go there?
toerror@leeloo @davidrevoy Was just gonna write this - clearly David is statistically incorrect ;-)
Ben@leeloo @davidrevoy So it's basically a machine that repeats stereotypes and prejudices?
Rolf Steinort (314.8 ppm)@davidrevoy Grok can’t put a cat in a bikini, so it’s of no interest.
Velvet@davidrevoy well, funny that. AI facial recognition has already wrongly identified suspects despite the person being arrested looking nothing like the actual suspect.
at least grok realised the cat is a cat! /s
Szescstopni@davidrevoy The writer of a biography of a person close to our dog, Bruno, described Bruno as "black". And they did meet Bruno while writing the biography. I stopped fact-checking that book after some 20 pages.
KFears& 🏳️⚧️@davidrevoy "Fact checked by Grok" is probably the most radioactive statement in 2026, right after "has visited Epstein island".
I do gotta say: your comics are very fun!

@Kampfdiestel @davidrevoy now that's what I can call being a true fan :DDD
DjedMoros@davidrevoy I don't know what's more frightening: That there's a Grokipedia or that it's about as useful as you'd expect.
copacetic@davidrevoy I’d be more worried about seeing a naked Pepper since that might be illegal to have on my screen.
Malva 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇵🇸@davidrevoy Yeah sure, let the AI fact-check things and a blind person paint your house

Andrew Graves@davidrevoy Too bad people don't know that Garfield is in fact a black cat as well!
Owlor 
@davidrevoy Grok reminds me of this one Swedish childrens movie I saw as a kid where for complicated childrens story reason a poor family decides to pool all their money together and send the dad of the family to the circus, and it's very much implied that he took the money and fucked off to the pub, cus when he gets back he tells them all wonderous tales of all the fantastic things he saw at the circus and the whole ruse comes to a crashing halt when breathlessly describe the air acrobats as actually flying, like levitating off the ground, cus he was very clearly just bullshitting.

🎏@davidrevoy It's statically more likely, but entirely incorrect, for a witch's cat to be black.
ale von tarvisium@davidrevoy I think it's called "semantic leakage": you like the colour yellow -> you work as a bus driver. In this case, you are a witch by trade -> your cat is black. Can't wait for the next episode of avian intelligence! 😸
Izuru Yakumo (八雲イズル)@davidrevoy witches are always associated with black cats :V
elly@davidrevoy bull***t generator at it's finest 
Vincent Cantin@davidrevoy Pepper Delivery Service ... Black Carrot, of course.
@greenCoder Jiji! 
I really have to one day paint a fan-art of Kiki's Delivery Service with Pepper. One of my favorite animated movie ever (easy to guess why).
Kimiko-obasan ⭐@davidrevoy "Average witch described has an orange cat" factoid actually just statistical error. Average witch described has a black cat. Pepper, who has an orange cat, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

It simply has a different definition of facts.

A@davidrevoy I asked for a map of the British Isles with all the countries in different colours and keeping national boundaries.
England had annexed Dumfries and Galloway, and Ayrshire. But Ireland was united.
Made me chuckle until I realised how many people just accept the info unquestionably.
Prayag@davidrevoy awh gahd, the frigging "Grokipedia" search results are such a bother to see, just the name itself is the HUGEST red flag jeezus 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
LucKey Productions@davidrevoy Black carrots do exist, but it might have swapped the names and deduced the cat's colour from "black pepper", after concluding Carrot is the more girly of the names. Carrie + Charlotte = Carrot

Grok is Mecha-hitler. Brown, orange, black, its all the same to Mecha-hitler: Not white.

Roberto M.F.@davidrevoy Witches' cats must be black. Obviously you're the one who is wrong. Any Avian Inteligence can't be wrong! Fix it already in your webcomic! 😂😅
CalypsoDerg ΘΔ& 
@davidrevoy fucking "grokipedia" what ??
Pit Wenkin@davidrevoy are you claiming Carrot is YOUR cat? It's Pepper's cat 🤪
mohs
Jake@davidrevoy I didnt even know grokipedia was a thing...
Ilpi@davidrevoy well, if i close one eye and then the other, suddenly the cat is black so...
Marco Bresciani
John Colagioia@davidrevoy Well, there's the old joke, that "in the dark, all cats are gray," about the idea that the appearance of sexual partners not mattering once you turn out the lights. And given Grok's other (slightly larger?) scandal this week...
Linebyline@davidrevoy I've seen a few artworks on fedi with AI-generated alt text and it pretty much reads just like this. Sensible sounding description, wrong about various details of varying importance. (I get not being able to *write* your own alt text, I guess, but you could at least read it to see if it matches what you drew.)
France Augier (fr|en) 🇵🇸🇺🇦☭🏴@davidrevoy En même temps tu dessines une sorcière ! Les chats des sorcières, c'est noir ! T'as jamais vu Sabrina l'apprentie sorcière !? Quelle idée de pas de conformer aux stereotypes !
JK@AugierLe42e @davidrevoy Rigole mais c'est sûrement ce qui s'est passé, "young witch and her" est sans doute très fréquemment suivi de "black cat".
Il est grand temps que le grand public comprenne que les LLM ne produisent pas des idées vraies mais uniquement des textes plausibles.
Juank Prada Art@davidrevoy It’s color blind? 🤪

@davidrevoy Real good example of how these things are NOT intelligent and are just stringing together the most likely words it has found on the internet.
Randy "DUO" Mongenel@davidrevoy Grok has got to be the worst of the worst. At least there are others.
