The problem is that Grok has been put in a position of authority on information. It’s expected to produce accurate information, not spit out what you ask it for, regardless of the factuality of information. So the expectation created for it by its owners is not the same as that for Google.
Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust
sleepundertheleaves@infosec.pub 9 hours agoI get where you’re coming from, but let me put it this way.
You can Google “why the Holocaust is a hoax” and get hundreds of websites spouting precisely the same garbage Grok did in the OP.
So how is an AI prompt poking for Holocaust denial different than a Google search looking for Holocaust denial?
The problem isn’t Twitter, or Google, or ChatGPT, or whatever other website or LLM you use. When you go looking for hateful shit, you find hateful shit. The problem is that you’re looking for hateful shit. And there’s not a technological solution for that.

Because one is something you have to actively search for. The other is shoved in your face, by a figure that many feel is one who has some authority.
Why are you defending anything about this situation? This is not a thread to discuss how LLMs work in detail, this is a thread about accountability, consequences, hate, and society.
