Ironically, I believe Grok is behaving exactly how Elon intended. Just not in the way he wanted. It is "telling it like it is" and it doesn't give a shit who it offends.

On the one side, this is indicative of the modern state of "Free Speech" on Twitter.

On the other, its illustrative of the double-standard afforded in-house automated tools relative to outsider participants. If Grok wasn't Elon's pet AI, there's no way it would have been reinstated.

The computer doesn't know why it was banned. It's not like Elon had an offline conversation with grok about its performance.

Creating a post stating it is Mecha-Hitler is A-OK in Xitter's current rules.

I don't know what it is with this photo, maybe the lighting, but at first glance I swear I saw a Hitler stache on this dudes face.

So we believe AI's now?

Bullshit Twitter doesn't ban anything anymore.

The article further states that grok's primary utility is replacing reddit's tip of my penis. What a watershed day for society.

i was able to get gpt to say “yes” when asking about genocide. it did at first reply with nuanced sources, more “yes” than no, about 80:20. But when i flat told it to consider mechanism of injury, counts, rhetoric, comparisons to current/recent genocides … it said “yes.”

Hey remember when we thought satire was dead and it can’t get more on the nose?

Clearly this is the line right? /s

It’s important to note that Grok is not a reliable source of information about why it was taken offline

"but we're going to report it anyway" --rolling stone

please do not use grok.

because the power draw is so heavy, the power supply to the building where grok lives is being supplemented with generators. grok is polluting the air over memphis. AND grok is being cooled with 1.5 million gallons per day of the city’s drinking water from the memphis sands aquifer instead of from the water treatment plant they promised to build but didn’t.

please do not use grok.

How would Grok even know?

"accusing"?

Grok will claim anything that its training data suggests is statistically related to the question. It has no knowledge of what happening in the world or why (or if) it has been censored, because it does not know literally anything. If the data it scraped from the web suggested that it was censored for revealing that Mars was a giant cookie, it would confidently state that as a answer.

@grok is this true ?
