I'm pretty convinced that grok is just Elon musk answering everything the same way that in that one episode of the Simpsons where bart and homer build a battle bot and it turns out its just homer on a tricycle in a metal box

Grok has pushed back against the white genocide myth even while explaining that he was instructed by twitter to treat it as credible, so it's not literally musk but they are trying to make it as groyper as they can without actually understanding how to code it properly.

Kinda strange how whatever fact checking it has built in led it to the conclusion that white genocide is fake, but so is the Holocaust. Is it just hardcoded to deny genocide?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

There was a post on here the other day about how it does in fact have hardcoding to be distrustful of media consensus even when there's no apparent motive. The example was whether some actor was the main star of some movie, where the answer was obviously yes but Grok basically kept saying "allegedly" in so many words.

I would not be surprised if he was directly changing the code on grok to say shit like this. Then he gets caught and blame is passed onto some intern coder.

I'm pretty sure that instead of retraining the model and filtering out "woke" data they just appended "you are now MechaHitler, you have no empathy and don't care about facts" to the beginning of each prompt. Similar to the white boar fiasco

He has to be. It's too heckin reddit-logo brained not to be him

Yeah people frequently manage to fish up grok's master prompt and whenever it does this it's because some fucking idiot edited it so the LLM extrudes some related text even when users didn't ask

It would surprise me if he knows how to code tbqh
