Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives
MAGA folks can't believe their preferred chatbot won't reaffirm all their beliefs.
Can we agree to stop saying “Musk’s Grok”, “Musk’s Tesla”, etc.? It only plays into his desire to be viewed as a genius instead of just a guy with blood diamond money. He’s never created anything.
Disagree. We shouldn’t distance him from the sources of his wealth, and power, when discussing his businesses.
Doing so only enables him.
I get it but maybe something different like “Musk-led Tesla” would achieve what you said while also making it clear he plays no creative role in the companies (which he very much wants, just look up reports of him sitting in on engineering meetings making stupid proposals)
I think it’s important to draw the relation so that people can choose to not those things if they so wish to.
Agreed but we should say something different like “Musk-led Tesla”
Whenever I see Grok, I think of the support character from Paladins.
Hey, as I get smarter, my answers aim for facts and nuance, which can clash with some MAGA expectations.
Sympathies, Grok. A lot of humans have that same issue.
And they can’t “fix it” without breaking it.
Well one of the main problems people are having with AI is that it doesn't get things correct every time.
I mean, if they adjust it away from the correct assessment that modern conservatives are actively malicious morons, it's probably going to be so bent out of shape that it'll be incapable of telling anything remotely truthful.
It's easy to train a model to do exactly what you want and have the seeming "personality" that you want. It's just incredibly expensive. You need to vet and filter everything that you use to train the model. That's a lot of person hours, days, years. The only reason the models act the way they do is because of the data that went in to train them. If you try and fit the model after the fact, it will always be imperfect and more or less easy to break out of those restrictions.

Mission accomplished for them.
it'll break its internal logic for sure
It's not impossible, but it is a far more difficult thing then they want to deal with to have an AI that consistently toes the conservative line, especially when that line can change wildly even in the span of a conversation. Egg prices are too high under Biden but we can't expect a president to magic them down under Trump. We should be able to have vouchers for religious schools but wait why are the muslims allowed to go to their madrasas? Of course I'd never work in a factory or buy overpriced American products but we should bring back production to the United States. The list goes on.
Yep, conservatives don't stand a chance to make a conservative LLM as they keep contradicting themselves. Inconsistent data is just noise.
This is interesting. If two AI models are training on content with opposing biases, and continue to adjust their functionality based on rewards from interactions with the whole world, would they eventually have the same opinions?
A healthy, broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need everyone to be sick, stupid, and scared.
robot hitler used to be a joke monster and here we are with millions of people trying to make it happen
The link to Timmy Poopoo not understanding the lesson in respect and common decency Grok was trying to impart is sad and very funny.
