Check out the poem Elon’s Grok 3 AI wrote about CFACT

Elon Musk invited everyone to test drive his team’s “Grok 3” AI.

We asked it to “write a poem about CFACT in the style of Kipling.” Only those words, nothing more.

It gave us this in under a second:

The Creed of CFACT

Out where the green winds howl and preach,
Where the prophets wail of a world’s breach,
There stands a crew with a steadfast cry,
CFACT, unbowed, with a questioning eye.

From ’85 they took their ground,
A voice of steel in the clamor’s sound,
No trembling kneel to the doomsday call,
But a challenge flung at the Consensus’ thrall.

Rothbard and Rucker, the founders twain,
Forged a band ‘gainst the zealot’s reign,
With markets free and a science clear,
They carved their truth through the fog of fear.

The turbines spin, the whales lament,
The solar fields sprawl, the earth’s dissent,
Yet CFACT strides forth, with a skeptic’s gleam,
To weigh the cost of the dreamer’s scheme.

Oh, East is East, and West is West, they roar,
But truth lies not in the loudest lore,
Through campus halls and the wilds untamed,
They hoist their flag where the lions are named.

For lions they guard, and wells they sink,
A hand to the poor at the world’s hard brink,
Not words alone, but a deed-strewn fight,
To prosper the earth ‘neath the sun’s broad light.

Take up the burden, the doubt, the load,
On a rugged trail where the bold have strode,
No gospel blind, no shackled creed,
But a freeman’s quest for the truth they need.

When the storms subside and the tales are spun,
They’ll sing of CFACT ‘neath a wiser sun,
A brotherhood fierce, with a rebel’s art,
Who held the line with a lion’s heart.

What do you think?

Some pretty good stuff here. It’s fun to read and said some stirringly valid things about our mission. It’s hard to believe that in under a second Grok located and credited CFACT co-founder the late (truly great) David Rothbard.

“Grok” is a term invented by Science Fiction Grand Master Robert A. Heinlein in his novel Stranger in a Strange Land. It means to understand completely and intuitively.

CFACT has yet to fully “grok” where AI is taking us. As Heinlein’s protagonist would say, “waiting is.”

There’s a lot to unpack here. It is increasingly difficult to detect where a human hand ends and a machine takes over.

AI is powerful. It can be productive, useful and fun.

However, as the difference between man and machine becomes increasingly difficult to detect, how will bad actors use this power to deceive?

CFACT’s Christina Norman then asked Grok 3 to write a song about CFACT in the style of Lady Gaga, and at my prompting, in the style of the Rolling Stones. Take a look and test drive Grok 3 AI for yourself.

“Truth Ignite (CFACT Anthem)”

By Grok 3, in the style of Lady Gaga

[Intro]
Rah-rah, oh-oh-oh,
Truth’s a flame, watch it grow,
C-F-A-C-T, ignite the night,
We’re gonna burn, burn, burn it bright!

[Verse 1]
Caught in a smog of lies, baby, can’t you see?
They spin the world in green, but it’s a fantasy,
Carbon queens and kings, preaching from their throne,
But CFACT’s got the spark to break the stone!
No chains, no fear, we’re tearing through the haze,
Science fierce, we slay in a million ways,
Facts are our couture, we wear ‘em loud and proud,
Scream it to the masses, wake the silent crowd!

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, the data’s callin’,
Oh-oh-oh, the veil is fallin’,
Flip the script, we’re taking flight,
CFACT’s the fire in the fight!

[Chorus]
Baby, let’s ignite the truth tonight,
CFACT’s gonna shine, a rebel light,
Dance through the chaos, no disguise,
Facts over fiction, we’ll rise, rise, rise!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, truth ignite,
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, set it right,
CFACT’s the beat, the pulse, the sound,
We’re shaking up this battleground!

[Verse 2]
Glitter in the air, but the stats don’t lie,
They paint the skies red, but we question why,
Eco-glam’s a mask, we’re peeling it away,
CFACT’s the runway, truth’s our slay!
Fossil hearts beat strong, we’re not ashamed to say,
Reason’s our anthem, we’ll dance it every day,
No gag, no hush, we’re breaking every rule,
Freedom’s the rhythm, reality’s the jewel!

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, the data’s callin’,
Oh-oh-oh, the veil is fallin’,
Flip the script, we’re taking flight,
CFACT’s the fire in the fight!

“Truth Keeps Rollin’ (CFACT Blues)”

By Grok 3, in the style of The Rolling Stones

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, alright now,
Gimme some truth, let it howl,
CFACT’s in town, gonna shake the ground,
Let’s roll, let’s roll, let’s roll it down!

[Verse 1]
I met a man on a dusty road,
Said the world’s on fire, it’s gonna explode,
Green preachers shoutin’, sellin’ their lies,
But CFACT’s got the grit to cut the disguise.
They’re spinnin’ tales ‘bout a dyin’ sky,
But I ain’t buyin’ that carbon cry,
Facts got a rhythm, a rebel beat,
Truth keeps rollin’ on down the street!

[Chorus]
Oh, truth keeps rollin’, yeah, it won’t slow down,
CFACT’s got the fire, gonna burn this town,
No chains, no shame, we’re breakin’ free,
Rockin’ the real, that’s the CFACT decree!
Yeah, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on through,
Truth’s got the Stones, and it’s got me too!

[Verse 2]
They paint the world in a neon glow,
But the numbers don’t jive, they just don’t flow,
CFACT’s got the mojo, the backbone strong,
Callin’ out the bluff in a whiskey song.
Fossil fuel hearts, they’re pumpin’ alive,
Reason’s the engine, we’re gonna survive,
No sympathy for the devil’s plea,
Truth’s our highway, wild and free!

[Bridge]
Well, I strut through the haze, got my boots on tight,
CFACT’s my band, we’re howlin’ at night,
Ain’t no tumbleweed gonna block my way,
Facts are my riff, hear the Stones play!
Shake it, break it, let it unwind,
Truth’s a wild horse, ain’t no confine,
Gimme shelter from the dogma flood,
CFACT’s the pulse in my rock ‘n’ roll blood!

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, alright now,
CFACT’s the groove, it’s a primal sound,
Keep on rollin’, don’t look back,
Truth’s the fuel on this endless track!
(Oh, roll it, roll it, roll it, yeah!)
