Just going on the information in the article, it seems like other than the Gary Markus assessment, others, including the Open AI co-founder, Kaparthy, praised Grok 3 as already as good as the most expensive subscription version of ChatGPT and improving faster.

If that's correct, then the headline appears to be a bit misleading. A valid quote for sure, but apparently an outlier in being more negative on xAI than others. Given Musk's recently becoming a political target, objective analysis will be tougher to come by, with those on the right likely to praise and those on the left likely to criticize, regardless of merit in both cases. This makes it more challenging for journalists looking to report as objectively as possible.

Note that the one negative comment in the article is from Gary Markus, someone the source Business Insider article calls, "a longtime critic of AI hype."

Probably editorial bias like Business Insider, NYT, WP, WSJ, Bloomberg, many others. They always emphasize the negative and often ignore the positive.

I'm a fan of WSJ. They're not perfect for sure, but I think they try harder than the others to focus on facts in order to inform rather than to persuade.
