only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works

An article claiming Musk is failing to manipulate his own project is hilarious regardless. I think you misunderstood why this appeals to some people

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hate Musk more than anyone but holy shit this is embarrassing.

"BREAKING: I asked my magic 8 ball if trump wants to blow up the moon and it said Outlook Good!!!! I have a degree in political science."

This. People NEED to stop anthropomorphising chatbots. Both to hype them up and to criticise them.

I mean, I'd argue that you're even assigned a loop that probably doesn't exist by seeing this as a seed for future training. Most likely all of these responses are at most hallucinations based on the millions of bullshit tweets people make about the guy and his typical behavior and nothing else.

But fundamentally, if a reporter reports on a factual claim made by an AI on how it's put together or trained, that reporter is most likely not a credible source of info about this tech.

Importantly, that's not the same as a savvy reporter probing an AI to see which questions it's been hardcoded to avoid responding or to respond a certain way. You can definitely identify guardrails by testing a chatbot. And I realize most people can't tell the difference between both types of reporting, which is part of the problem... but there is one.

Yup, it's literally a bullshit machine.

Fucking thank you! Grok doesn't reveal anything, it just tells us anything to make us happy!

This is correct.

In this case it is true though. Soon after grok3 came out, there were multiple prompt leaks with instructions to not bad mouth elon or trump

I think that's kinda the point though; to illustrate that you can make these things say whatever you want and that they don't know what the truth is. It forces their creators to come out and explain to the public that they're not reliable.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brutal!

But maybe you are only seeing the ones that dunk on Elon, because someone thinks those are newsworthy.

Tbh I don't think any of that is newsworthy, but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Well, there is probably some survival/confirmation bias on that statistics, those answers are the funny ones... in any case probably is not necessary a LLM to state such statements

Imagine the irony if Musk actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step

It doesn‘t. It just read about it somewhere on the internet.

It doesn’t. All it “knows” is that it has trained on data that makes that claim in the text (ie people’s tweets) and that, statistically, that’s the answer you are looking for.

All it does is take a given set of inputs, and calculate the most statistically likely response. That’s it. It doesn’t “think”. It just spews.

Stop the clickbait bullshit

Training. Its just the awareness of the collective users of X showing up as Grok responses.

Basically, we can't verify everything that AI says. Verification is still a human labour.

I agree, but in this case, I think it doesn't really matter if it is true. Either way, it is hilarious. If it is false, it shows how shitty AI hallucination is and the bad state of AI.

Should the authors who publish this mention how likely this is all just a hallucination? Sure, but I think Musk is such a big spreader of misinformation, he shouldn't get any protection from it.

Btw. Many people are saying that Elon Musk has (had?) a small PP and a botched PP surgery.

Quick! Write a shitty news article about it!

The reason that it does this is probably because it trains on tweets. Maybe other sources too.

So keep tweeting about how Musk sucks and call him out on his bullshit (if you still use the Xitter) and Grok will, too. He can’t delete all of it!
