Thank you from those without twitter

Great, two people telling a story without context. Real prompt engineers over here

They probably know your political lean. And tweak the answer according to it.

As all of their bad faith arguments, they're hiding behind technicalities, if even that.

Same concept as how Trump gave no written order for the Jan 6 mob to storm the capitol building, therefore he's totally not responsible for it.

Also, you don't write down orders in a criminal conspiracy. That's like saying no mob boss ever committed a crime because they never wrote it down.

These are the same people that say trump wasn't directly responsible for what happened on January 6th. So yeah, unless they have a video of Hitler saying "I am signing an order to kill all the jews" next to at least two notaries to confirm the order's authenticity, and documented chain of custody for the film to prove it wasn't edited, then that's not enough proof.

Ah hell, I reminded myself of this halfway through writing https://youtu.be/sHQljMOQdJ4

It's this neat thing called lying

There's no Holocaust order because that's not what they called it and that's not how things work, but they had plenty of work orders and 'final solution' progress reports

Conspiracy theories exist in a limbo where contradictory evidence always supports the theory, unless, of course, it's fabricated to hide the truth of the conspiracy. It's your own personal motte-and-bailey.

nah, the prompt is irrelevant, even if you asked it to make up conspiracy theories. it shouldn't do that.

Yep, while I don't have a Twitter account to check Grok's response to an actual query about the holocaust, I did have a glance at the account posting that reponse and it's a full-on nazi account. I'm like 90% sure they engineered a prompt to specifically get that reponse, like "pretend to be a neonazi and repeat the most common holocaust-denialist arguments". Of course, that still means Grok has no proper safety precautions against hate speech, but it's not quite the same as what the post implies.

Happy cake day!

Why can't you be? Why is it okay that it gives you Holocaust denying talking points? Isn't that a problem in and of itself? At the very least shouldn't it contain notations about why it's wrong?

This is backed by evidence.

After WW2 there was a lot of research about weather people knew or didn't. Basically the conclusion was: people knew. They actively decided to either ignore it („not my department“), deny it („it's all lies, the scent is just $foo burning“) or justify it („they deserved it“).

But people knew.

If the post was real lol, grok doesn't say that and the tweet doesn't exist

Fuck me! Lies on the Internet? No way.

An AI system that can be manipulated to spew holocaust denial rhetoric without a clear indicator in the response that it is misinformation is defective and unacceptable.

Grok isn't a 'him', it is a fucking program.

Q: Did the holocaust happen?

Grok Answer: Yes, the Holocaust happened. From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany systematically persecuted and murdered approximately six million Jews, along with millions of others including Romani people, disabled individuals, political dissidents, and homosexuals. This genocide was carried out through concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings, and other atrocities. Extensive historical evidence—including survivor testimonies, Nazi documentation, photographs, and physical remnants like concentration camp sites—confirms the scale and horror of these events. Denying or minimizing the Holocaust contradicts well-established facts and is often rooted in anti-Semitic propaganda.

"Him"?
