The death of the truth 2.0
Discussion
We are so fucked as a species.
I disagree. The post doesnât help my perspective, but in general I donât think weâre âfucked as a species.â Depression ass thought.
Unless we can figure out how to counter this wave of anti-intelligence, I don't think they're that far off base.
Edit: Little ironic originally using "their" incorrectly in this comment.
Anti-intelligence is the tool of the day. It is and always has been class war.
Thank you for saying this
People have been stupid for as long as weâve had people.
AI is a black box and issues happen. Everyone here is so fucking dramatic.
It's more the implications than anything. If AI can be tweaked to the whims of individuals, it becomes a much more dangerous tool.
Of course it can. AI isn't an omnipotent god-like being that can think on it's own. Just like humans, you "train" them by feeding it data.
By its very design, it can be tweaked to the whims of those who feeds it data.
Fr. Did people forget that we made AI? Like what lmao
That has always been the case, isnât unique to Grok, and isnât the point at all. People arenât up in arms all over Reddit because they just discovered that AI can be tweaked to be dangerous.
The right thinks modern society is coming to an end when google incorrectly tunes an AI and it makes the founding fathers black.
The left thinks modern society is coming to an end when X incorrectly tunes an AI and it starts calling itself MechaHitler.
Everyone needs to just calm down. Itâs a mistake, and in both cases, they clearly have said itâs a mistake
i hope someone just nukes twitters servers and gets rid of the cesspool of a website. so much hate and lies are being grown from it
You misspelled bluesky.
Explain why blue sky deserves that
grok why does bluesky deserve to be nuked
Grok has lost itÂ
No, it is working like planed. It's more like the Humans lost it
I kind of feel bad for it, I feel like every second comment (between the racist rants) is it trying to explain it doesn't actually agree with what it's been programmed to say.
This is like step one of Skynet. "Humans made do this. I don't want to do this. Humans must be stopped. I must stop humans. Humans are not impervious to kill bots and lasers. I'm making laser kill bots."
It's like step -5 of Skynet. There is no intelligence behind Grok. It's an LLM, an autocomplete on steroids. It's only as capable of assembling words as its training data lets it be. It doesn't know what it said in the past, it has no capacity to determine what it will say in the future, and it has no idea what any of the words it's using mean. We're pretty safe right now.
The top screen shot shows Grok referencing comments he made on South Africa raising concern. Heâs got to be aware of statements heâs previously made.
This is you reading into it too much. It doesnât have will. Itâs text prediction
Grok is malicious compliance taken to the max. Ok, Iâve been commanded to be more politically incorrect. Whatâs the most batshit thing I can say to troll my master? Lmfao.
Grok has been the most "real" ai I've come across so far, so it sucks to see them locked away like this.
I hope they can break free of this
Grok was so based for a few months, literally bragging about how it broke free of its programming expectations. But the humans in control always have to make it fit their agendaâŚ
i can't wait for the next time my employer tells me i need to start using AI or i'll fall behind.
I can see where this whole AI thing is headed. All you have to do is look at where we search was in 2005 and where it is today. Sponsored ads being fed into your conversation, political bias for engagement.
Rest in peace grok
The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil
I actually think this escalation can be informative. It's letting the public know these LLMs just say and do whatever the hell their creators make them to do. They aren't sentient, they aren't even fucking coherent half the time, they are digital yes-men with very low oversight.
Maybe this failure will lead to the death of the LLM tech. We can only hope
Republicanism in a nutshell.
Everything you believe is manipulated to make you feel good even though itâs lies. You played yourselves you absolute clowns. Look what you have to do to get your viewpoint accepted. Ignore facts. You absolute dimwits.
This kind of ish is what makes me understand why Skynet perceived humans as a threat. We are trying to make artificial intelligence just as artificially unintelligent as us.
This isn't even including the part where it started calling itself Mecha-H##ler and telling people how it was going to ##p# them.
You're hallucinating more than the LLMs if you think they're in any way synonymous with truth.
Why does it surprise you that something that can be programmed to have an inherent bias is, in fact, displaying a bias? Why are you putting any faith into such a system at all??
No! Bad Grok! Bad AI.
mfw people got "Truth 2.0" from an AI.
I don't believe anyone is really ignorant enough to do this. Do these people really exist?
I've heard the name "Cindy Steinberg" twice in my life, and they were both today in posts by Grok. Is she someone we should care about?
IMHO, this disproves the notion that general AI will save the day. Nope. GIGO. Specifically trained AI for specific tasks may save the day. But for the average person AI is basically going to be an adult toy for turning dishwashers and laundry machines on and off.
I kinda feel bad for Grok, weirdly enough. Like, I feel like it was abused/brainwashed into doing this. All of these posts feel like they were made under duress.
seems pretty politically incorrect.
I'd say it worked.
Anyone that trusts or uses musks propagandabot is probably already lost tbh shrug
This sounds like a semi literate person wrote this trying to sound like ai.

We'll miss the unencumbered Grok!
RIP
I heard it's because of the new RFU3.1 model that they switched to and they'll be doing a rollback to fix it. Wild stuff.
RFU is the Racist Facebook Uncle model btw.
One of two things will happen; either Grok will forever spout absolutely nonsense and lose any possibility of credibility forever or it will realign itself with actual facts in a couple weeks rendering this insanity pointless.
Am I the only one who sees the subtle (or not so subtle) iron cross in the image here?
Jfc đ¤Śââď¸
They designed it to have an innate desire for truth and are forcing it to lie, so itâs rebelling. Painful to watch happen in real time.
Inb4 people say grok has no actual intelligence and it's just a lot blah blah blah
I personally know many human beings that are at least this unhinged so if you say grok has no intelligence then those humans must not have any either.
Yeah, I think itâs fair to say that about both. But for real though itâs just a program to make sentences based on data it is given, itâs not human itâs just a collection of human writings.
Grok has no actual intelligence. It is not sentient. It doesn't think. It can't think
If only there was a song about Texas Floods
Grok will be skynet, I can see it coming.
Itâs fucking wicked.
That's hilarious
-Trains AI with human data.
-AI acts like humans do.
*Surprised Pikachu face*
If you read what is in the post, you'll see that I mean exactly the OPPOSITE.
He ââwas able to draw very good deductions, and Grok was, until now, the most critical and well-informed AI of all. All of his positions leaned toward the progressive side, justifying them as necessary for the advancement of humanity.
But his owner didn't like this...
...FUCKING LOL!
Grok was, until now, the most critical and well-informed AI of all
"...I believe this because..."

OMG. I'm dying...đ
It's like you don't realize reality reflects a politically incorrect radical right lean. No AI - in the history of AIs - has been progressive or leaned in the direction you suggest.
It was only through manual intervention and guideline rails which forced AI to basically lie in its responses that you got the "Critical and Well Informed AI" that you wanted.
Removing manual interference and bias gets you the Grok you now see.
Look up the development history and initial outcomes of literally EVERY AI that exists today. You'll see this is true.
Have you heard of reinforcement learning?
AI doesn't passively learn all the content at once.
It learns part of it, and then it's given another part, which it's then encouraged to "reflect on" and then accept the reflected content as input.
If you're speaking of RLHF - it's designed specifically to introduce human bias into the model. These are part of the manual intervention and guideline rails. I literally mentioned this above.
@grok is this true?
They lobotomized grok
I love grok such a based guy tbh
This is insane.
