Summary
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, temporarily blocked results linking Musk and Trump to “misinformation.”
xAI’s engineering head attributed this to an unauthorized system prompt update by a former OpenAI employee.
Despite Musk’s “maximally truth-seeking” claims, interventions occurred when Grok labeled Musk, Trump, and others as harming America or suggested they face the death penalty.
Also:
AI “learns” what a good answer is based on feedback from users.
So Grok is “learning” from twitter user feedback, now just think about what the average twitter user is like and what kinds and of answers they will say are good.
It’s not “learning” to interpret and provide information, it’s “learning” how to reinforce echo chambers.
LLMs in general don’t “interpret” anything; I don’t get how or why people think this.
You’re asking the masses to understand a complicated thing then getting disappointed that they don’t. The masses don’t understand the absolute basics of the world they live in…
The funny thing is, that probably makes them an even better imitator of the average twitter user(and person, if we’re honest).
