Elon Musk’s Grok Gets Extremely Anti-Semitic After Latest Update
Elon Musk’s Grok Gets Extremely Anti-Semitic After Latest Update
Elon Musk's sophisticated AI bot Grok appeared to be dealing with a sudden bout of anti-Semitism based on multiple responses posted Tuesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
Grok is proof that you can only trust an AI as well as you trust the people who programmed it.
I mean, in this case it's what it's been fed, which is roughly the internet, which is roughly a giant heap of garbage.
We, collectively, are the programmers, and we fucking suck.
No actually origionally it was fed the internet... and elon was getting fed up with it correctly fact checking him.
IE the genisis of this change was, musk accusing the left of being violent. Followed by someone asking grok whether the left or right had commited was more violent.
Grok responded basically pointing out that there were far more incidents of right wing inspired violence, and the majority of left wing incidents only damaged property.
Musk responded that that is incorrect and he'll fix it.
And now he made the update and explicitly turned grok into a nazi.
You miss the point. The programmers control the output to some degree by limiting it or instructing it to prioritize certain information or narratives.
I assume this is where you would hear claims of a lack of conservative views and bias, when really, this is the output that we get. Every time.
It’s not just what it’s fed, it’s also what it’s told to regurgitate.
Traning data is curated and continous.
In other words, one (for example, Musk) can finetune the big language model on a small pattern of data (for example, antisemetic content) to 'steer' the LLM's outputs towards that.
You could bias it towards fluffy bunny discussions, then turn around and send it the other direction.
Each round of finetuning does "lobotomize" the model to some extent though, making it forget stuff, overuses common phrases, reducing its ability to generalize, 'erasing' careful anti-reptition tuning and stuff like that. In other words, if Elon is telling his engineers "I don't like these responses. Make the AI less woke, right now," he's basically sabotaging their work. They'd have to start over with the pretrain and sprinkle that data into months(?) of retraining to keep it from dumbing down or going off the rails.
There are ways around this outlined in research papers (and some open source projects), but Big Tech is kinda dumb and 'lazy' since they're so flush with cash, so they don't use them. Shrug.
I should have said handler I guess
