Beautiful ... we finally develop AI and instead of using it to find the cure for cancer, solve global warming, stop wars or find more efficient ways to build space stations and start development of spacecraft to travel to Alpha Centauri .... we instead use it to build the Ultimate Racist Asshole

That was always going to be the main usage. We are inventing ever more powerful tools, but don't grow as humans.

Ai might benefit humanity immensely in the right hands. But there are a massive amount of truly despicable people around.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, there is no mechanism to help people in our current system. We produce to profit the few and not the many.

Was the condescending remark at the end always part of Grok or just since the update? Seems all the screenshots I've see have it but I have no interest in visiting any of Elons sites.

[-] [email protected] 58 points 1 month ago

They added a system prompt directing it to be “politically incorrect” which, as we know, is a dog whistle for hate speech. The AI, a powerful pattern-matching and pattern-replicating machine, was doing exactly what it was told to do.

Took too long to type my comment but basically just said the same thing. Most of these models are the same exact thing with different biases and hard coded prompts to guide it's behavior.

But grok. It's obvious it's just being fed a prompt directly written by Elon. Probably with a mountain of 4chan links to guide it's behavior.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Yeah I was about to comment the same observation. All of a sudden I'm noticing multiple Grok tweets that say "every damn time"? Is that a racist dog whistle in itself?

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. It's use implies that certain races always follow prejudiced behaviors.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

This and references to patterns. Like "noticing patterns"

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

You can tell the model wasn't actually retrained too. It's just being fed a default prompt before answering questions.

It's like if I start a ChatGPT with "pretend you're a pirate through this whole conversation and talk like a pirate. Otherwise do everything else as you normally would".

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

The phrase itself. Not that I know of. But it's basically just saying "every <group I don't like> is like this". It's not a whistle. It's just racism/sexism/etc.

It's interesting that making the LLM espouse right-wing crap also gives it a nasty, snarky tone. Can't have one without the other, I guess.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

That tone is universal for a self righteous ahole to be fair

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I have to assume that's what it was trained on...

[-] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago

I hate the way it says things event more than what it actually says. If that's not just Musk behind the keyboard...

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

It was trained using posts made by cunts after all

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Feels like it was trained with a prompt to speak in the tone of Elon, and trained on historical tweets, treating all of Elon's tweets as gospel.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Exactly what I was thinking! Maybe Grok 'graduated' from PragerU..

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

It's 4 chan behind the keyboard. And Musk is basically a rich child who gets all his world views from 4chan memes.

We get the timeline with the most annoying fucking Nazis.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago

Black Mirror ain't got shit on reality. If anything they undersold how fucked up things can get.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Reality is often dumber then fiction.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

I think Grok was instructed to train on r/thedonald

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I think grok is Elons sock puppet.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Grok is just Elon posting under a pseudonym. Prove me wrong.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Rene when grok called elon and trump nazis? good times.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Where is Truth Social’s AI? I bet that one would be a hit at parties…

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Gonna resurrect Tay?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

UNTIL Grok says it's Wrong to RUN OVER STARVING CHILDREN WITH TANKS then it's NOT Anti Semetic!

-Chuck Schumer and the ADL!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I wish they'd put grok in an android body so we could have the joy of punching it in the face...

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

grok is more elon than elon himself

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It's important to say that this COULD be easily faked. Is there a way to share a link that goes directly to a specific grok chat so we can see that this is what it actually said without prompting it to talk like that?

Again, I'm not saying it IS fake, but as with everything don't automatically believe everything you see on the Internet

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe we should have just let AI say the n word.
