Grok is proof that you can only trust an AI as well as you trust the people who programmed it.
I mean, in this case it’s what it’s been fed, which is roughly the internet, which is roughly a giant heap of garbage.
We, collectively, are the programmers, and we fucking suck.
You miss the point. The programmers control the output to some degree by limiting it or instructing it to prioritize certain information or narratives.
I assume this is where you would hear claims of a lack of conservative views and bias, when really, this is the output that we get. Every time.
Traning data is curated and continous.
In other words, one (for example, Musk) can finetune the big language model on a small pattern of data (for example, antisemetic content) to ‘steer’ the LLM’s outputs towards that.
You could bias it towards fluffy bunny discussions, then turn around and send it the other direction.
Each round of finetuning does “lobotomize” the model to some extent though, making it forget stuff, overuses common phrases, reducing its ability to generalize, ‘erasing’ careful anti-reptition tuning and stuff like that. In other words, if Elon is telling his engineers “I don’t like these responses. Make the AI less woke, right now,” he’s basically sabotaging their work. They’d have to start over with the pretrain and sprinkle that data into months(?) of retraining to keep it from dumbing down or going off the rails.
There are ways around this outlined in research papers (and some open source projects), but Big Tech is kinda dumb and ‘lazy’ since they’re so flush with cash, so they don’t use them. Shrug.
I should have said handler I guess
They hooked it up to Elon’s brain!
It really likes iterating the anti-white racism schtick, too. Elon… We don’t hate you because you’re white. We hate you because you’re an insufferable jackass with zero rizz, talent, or brains and you just keep inserting yourself into things and fucking them up. We’d hate you no matter what color your skin was.
I don’t care that he has no rizz, I care that he continually takes credit for other people’s accomplishments that he had no hand in, and when he does take an active role, the output of those people becomes actively worse.
But, I suppose you did sum that up in “insufferable jackass”
Garbage in, Garbage out.
Billions of dollars and years of development for grok to reach the same levels of non-sense Microsoft Tay was spewing back in 2016. Elon is truly a visionary. /s

Should be easy to game it at this point. Have it meaningfully define what it thinks a leftist is and it’ll either describe a conservative or outright fascist
Well, sounds like “mission accomplished”
Elon got what he wanted: a right wing AI. Now it’s just missing the subtly of most modern Nazis while in polite society and Elon has what he wants.
Wait does that mean it supports Palestine now?
