Comment on Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’

All these “look at the thing the ai wrote” articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.

There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something “behind the scenes” or it’s just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.

Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts…

An article claiming Musk is failing to manipulate his own project is hilarious regardless. I think you misunderstood why this appeals to some people

  Yes sure, fair point. I’m just pointing out that it’s all fiction.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hate Musk more than anyone but holy shit this is embarrassing.

  I mean, you can argue that if you ask the LLM alerting multiple times and it gives that answer the majority of those times, it is being trained to make that association.
  
  But a lot of these “Wow! The AI wrote this” might just as well be some random thing that came from it just out of chance.

    Satisfied with the answer might have been a better way to put it…

This is correct.

In this case it is true though. Soon after grok3 came out, there were multiple prompt leaks with instructions to not bad mouth elon or trump

I think that’s kinda the point though; to illustrate that you can make these things say whatever you want and that they don’t know what the truth is. It forces their creators to come out and explain to the public that they’re not reliable.

  I thought we all learned that from DeepSeek, when we asked it history questions… and it didn’t know the answer. It was censoring.
