Elon Musk buys Twitter

To restore confidence Musk should fly on the next one! He must be the biggest snake oil sales man of all times!

Grok also made an attempt to balance the reply, saying that left-wing violence was also on a steady rise especially since the 2020 protests.

“Surveys show both sides increasingly justify violence, reflecting deep polarization,” Grok continued.

“Right-wing attacks account for most deadly incidents, per reports like Reuters and GAO. However, biases in reporting may skew perceptions. Both sides contribute to a growing cycle of unrest, and precise attribution remains contentious due to varying definitions of violence.”

Elon Musk, however, labeled this conversation as “objectively false.”

“Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it,” he said.

The debate was dragged further when another user asked Grok’s opinion on Musk’s reply. However, the chatbot again produced a disappointing answer.

“I don’t fully agree with Elon Musk’s claim that my analysis was ‘objectively false or ‘parroting legacy media,’” the AI wrote. “Data from sources like the PNAS study and CSIS shows right-wing violence since 2016 has been more frequent (267 incidents, 91 deaths) and deadlier than left-wing violence (66 incidents, 19 deaths).”

Heh! Heh! His own AI is calling Musk a liar!

He'll fix that...

To reflect his own bias and make more money!

Despite the company's attempts to explain Grok's behavior, critics were unmoved by xAI's statements and remained alarmed. The chatbot is a "reflection of X and xAI," which "exist to advance Musk's worldview and make him money," said Emily Baker-White at Forbes. This is why it is "unsurprising to think that the bot would say things about race in South Africa that largely align with Musk's political opinions." As more people rely on chatbots to "provide information and replace research," it can be "easy to forget that chatbots aren't people; they're products." Their creators may want you to believe they are "unbiased" or "neutral," but "they're not."

You would be "hard-pressed to find a more obvious example of the need for regulation and oversight in the artificial intelligence space" than Grok's recent behavior, opinion blogger Ja'han Jones said at MSNBC. This happening shows why "artificial intelligence ethicists" and other experts involved in AI development have "talked about the need for AI regulation and proactive practices to root out bias in AI models." Without it, AI tools like Grok "can be engineered to peddle dangerous — or, indeed, racist — propaganda."

Grok will be telling us Donald Trump is a saint before the year is out.

Oh, and he's ended all the wars.

 

[How bad boy]

Yep, they're only as good as the training they're given. Poison the training either through data or bias, then they will go with it.

And has really big hands.

And has really big hands.

Ah now, not even Musk would go that far. Even the MAGA morons would revolt

 

[How bad boy]

Looks like they turned the Hitler dial a little too far to the right with this new version.
Incidentally it might be the AI that has had the most powerful compute behind it to date, but garbage in, garbage out, they've clearly fucked up with the training data, weights and safety protections for it to be coming out with shit like that.

Musk’s AI firm forced to delete posts praising Hitler from Grok chatbot

The popular bot on X began making antisemitic comments in response to user queries

[How bad boy]

I'm not going to post the content because, well, I don't want a ban, but some of the shit Grok has been coming out with is utterly vile

Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust

The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names.

As one of the many examples, talking about someone called Steinberg, it claims she's celebrating the deaths in fascists and then makes a very clearly anti-semitic comment about her.


Put it this way, if Grok is used as part of vetting for company's hiring (because AI is basically now dominant in that domain), it's going to be really quite racist indeed.
