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

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

This and references to patterns. Like "noticing patterns"

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.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

It was trained using posts made by cunts after all

[–] running_ragged@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] gens@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

Reality is often dumber then fiction.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think Grok was instructed to train on r/thedonald

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 weeks ago

I think grok is Elons sock puppet.

[–] Mvlad88@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] BubblyRomeo@kbin.earth 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't give the Trump family any new ideas.

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Epstein's orange friend will reveal it in two weeks:

Get a trumpai gold membership for only $199.95 monthly!
It is your friendly robot helper that will read all your truths and help you with writing, it has the best words!
And as a special offer this week, for a small extra fee of $799, trumpai will post automatically for you.

Gonna resurrect Tay?

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks 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

[–] paulbg@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

grok is more elon than elon himself
