You're making it sound like it's choosing to misgender her, it's not. It's not fucked up because it's a text extruder making a mistake, there's no good or bad intention here. It's shitty because the current state of glorified hallucinating autocorrects is shitty, but not because evil Grok is choosing to do anything.
Just because a machine accidentally does it, don’t make it okay to laugh at.
That sounds a bit ridiculous
If it had accidentally said something heinously racist about somebody, would you laugh and say “haha well maybe it’s not wrong!” because that’s what the comments in this post are saying.
I'm having hard time imagining what sort of stuff it would've said in this imaginary scenario
You're really having a hard time imagining Grok saying some racist right wing shit? Do you not remember all the shit about Obama not being American?
If it said JD Vance actually a black man from Malaysia I'd find that pretty funny too, yeah
That's not comparable and you know it.
But I remember your name now, you were one of those sexists raging against women. Not surprised you're also pro-misgendering people. Oh and I can see you've been banned elsewhere for transphobia too. Not wasting any more time replying to you.
I did say I'm having hard time imagining what you meant. That's why I was hoping for an example. Dunno about the rest of what you're talking about, sorry
