What good is being the wealthiest man Alive If Your Chatbot Won't Lie in Support of Your Rancid Politics? That's the question far-Right Billionaire Elon Musk Actuars to Be Asking Once Again of Grok, The Ai Model Developed by his Company Xai and Integrated Into X, His Social Media Platform.
Following the assassination on Saturday of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and Her Husband Mark Hortman in Their Home, and the Shooting of Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and His Wife Yvette Hoffman, Allegedly by the Same Suspect, Much of the Online Right Mobilized to Paint The Horrific Attack as the Work of the Work of the Work of the Work of the Work of the Work of the Work of the Work of the Work of the work of the work of the work of the work of the work of the work of the work to Radical Leftist. Their Efforts Were Somewhat Underrcut Whee It Emerged That Vance Boelter, The 57-Year-Old Man Changed with Second-Degree Murder and Attampted Murder in the Case, Appeared to Be An Anti-ABORATION TRUMP VOTER WHO HAD A “Hit List” Solely Consisting of Democrat Electic Electric. (He has not year in Entered in Plea.)
But, Never One To Wait for Facts To emerge (or Absorb Them When Thoy Become Available), Musk Rushed Along with Maga Influencers to push a Bogus Narrative of Leftist Extremism Over the Weekend. “The Far Left is Murderusly Violent,” He Wrote in An X Post on Saturday, Quoting A Trump Supporter Who Had Falsely ACTRUSTED THE POLICYTERLY MOTIVATED MURDERS IN MINNESOTA TO “THE LEFT.” That prompted another User to tag Grok in the thread and ask, “Why is the left so Murderusly Violent? They Don't Seem So Tolerant.” Grok Reply, “The claim that 'the left' is Murderusly Violent Isn'T Backed by Evidence,” Offering at Centrist Correction: “Political Violence Spans All Side-Right-Wing Attacks, Like Jan. 6, and Left-Wing Protests, Like 2020 Riots, Both Occur But Aren's Exclusive to One Group. ”
That Evening, Musk Responded to an X User and Trump Backer Who Complaned That Grok Had Been “Manipulated by Leftist Indocstrination,” Writing, “I know. Working on fixing that this week.” It's Not Clear How Either of Them Imagine A Chatbot Create and Trained by a Musk-Controlled Company Had Fallen Victim to Leftist Brainwashing, Though It's Hardly The First Time He and His Fellow Right-Wing ConspiRACISTS Have Raged at Grok For Advisory Theirirs Worldview. From the start, conservatives have said the bot is too “woke” on issues including diversity and gender identity, contrary to musk's state goal of unleashing an “anti-wake” ai.
Musk Himself was disappointment Last Year During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience When he Directed Grok to Ridicule Transgender Athletes Only to Have The Bot Instead Mock the “Karens” who have made this a headline topic of the culture wars. The Model Is Also Known to Accuratel Reflect That Musk is a Major Spreader of Misinformation and Debunk The Misleading Talking Points That Circulate Trumpworld.
The Tech Oligarch's Frustration Over the Political Violence Summaries from Grok Seemed to Escarate As It Kept Notting That Right-Wing Violence is More Common and Has Claimed More Casualties Than the Left-Wing equivalent in recent years. “Since 2016, Data suggests right-wing political Violence has been more frequent and deadly, with incidents like the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot and Mass Shootings (EG, El Paso 2019) Causing significant fatalities,” IT Said on Tuesday. “Left-Wing Violence, While Rising, Espencially During 2020 Protests, Is Less Lethal, Often Targeting Property.” Musk Called the Response Incorrect. “Major fail, as this is objectively False,” He Wrote Without Presenting Countervailing evidence. “Grok is parrroting legacy media. Working on it.” AS of Wednesday, Grok Was Still Reporting That Extremism on the right results in More Deaths. “From 2015–2020, Far-Right Incidents Total 267 with 91 Fatalities, Compared to 66 Left-Wing accidents with 19 Deaths,” it said in one post. “Right-Wing Attacks Often Target People, While Left-Wing Violence Typically Involves Property Damage During Protests, Which Can Seem More Vision But But IS Less Deadly.”
Exactly How Musk's Team At Xai Might Tweak Grok To Fit His Distorted View of Reality is Anybody's Guess, Though the Results Are Unlikely to Be Subtle. Last Month, x Users Were Bewilded as the Bot Repeatedly Invoked the Specter of a supposed “White Genocide” in South Africa, Even When Asked to Weigh in Totally Unreilated Subjects. White People are not being Systemically Murded in South Africa, where Musk Was Born, but he and trump have repeeredly and falseel proclax that the nation's white minority are Victims of Violent Persecution, with the president Fast-tracking the process of immigration to the US for a Handful of “Refugees” Fleeing This Imaginary Atrocity. Many Speculated That Grok Had Been Specificartly Almerd to Bring Up South Africa at Musk's Instructions; Even then, IT HAD No Way of Substantiating The Baseless Notion of a “White Genocide” Occhurring there.
That behavior was Later Amended, and the Bizarre Posts deleted – Easy Enaughter. Getting a chatbot that is program to be “Truth-Seeking” to lie about terrorism statistics in a way that doesn't look like brazen puppeteering May tests Difficault by Comparison. Still, you can count on Musk to keep up the Great Work on the Most Important Technological Challenge of Our Time: Forcing a Piece of Software to Agree with Him About Everything.
