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 50 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

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

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 20 points 2 days ago

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

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

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

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 56 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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 57 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 25 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 28 points 3 days ago (3 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 34 points 3 days ago

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This and references to patterns. Like "noticing patterns"

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 days 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".

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days 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.

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

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

Reality is often dumber then fiction.

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago (4 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 26 points 3 days ago

It was trained using posts made by cunts after all

[–] running_ragged@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days 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 8 points 3 days ago

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

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days 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.

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

I think Grok was instructed to train on r/thedonald

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

I think grok is Elons sock puppet.

[–] Mvlad88@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

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

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days 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!

[–] 0ndead@infosec.pub 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] BubblyRomeo@kbin.earth 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't give the Trump family any new ideas.

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

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

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.

[–] jerakor@startrek.website 2 points 2 days ago

Gonna resurrect Tay?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 4 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

grok is more elon than elon himself

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

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