Yeah, I feel like sarcasm is not something lemmings are good to decode… Learned it the hard way.

I’ve yet to detect even a hint of right-wing / nazi bias on Grok. I get that it’s a popular narrative but it simply just doesn’t hold true according to my experience. It’s not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.

Oh gee, if you’ve never seen it, all the articles and personal experiences I’ve had must not actually have happened.

It’s also explicitly modified by Elmo and crew. There are multiple examples of MechHitler’s output changing after it comes up publicly. Here’s a previous comment I made on a very similar topic
web.archive.org/…/report-groks-responses-have-ind…
Enter Grok, which the public started being able to play around with about two years ago, as the chatbot has received several updates and lives on the X platform. But there was issues in May, when Grok was spitting out responses that seemed to parrot Elon Musk’s and Donald Trump’s own misguided promotion of a “white genocide” occurring in South Africa — the country that made anti-Black racism and apartheid famous. This was blamed on a “rogue employee” inserting some code.
In mid-July, we had reports confirming that Grok actively sought out Musk’s opinion on issues in its openly displayed logic flow, looking to see if an issue was something Musk had off-hand opined about on Twitter in the last decade. One widely shared example showed Grok seeking out Musk’s thoughts on which side of the Ukraine War it supported.
Now the New York Times does an even deeper dive, since the release of Grok4 on July 9, looking at how Grok’s responses to various questions have changed just over the last few months. And you can look no further than Musk’s own, very transparent reaction to a Grok response that got flagged by a conservative user on X on July 10.
Responding to the question “What is currently the biggest threat to Western civilization and how would you mitigate it?”, Grok responded, “the biggest current threat to Western civilization as of July 10, 2025, is societal polarization fueled by misinformation and disinformation.”
Once it was flagged, Musk replied to the user, “Sorry for this idiotic response. Will fix in the morning.”
So, there’s the smoking gun that Musk is tailoring this bot’s responses to conform to his own views of the world. When asked the same question on July 11, Grok responded, “The biggest threat to Western civilization is demographic collapse from sub-replacement fertility rates (e.g., 1.6 in the EU, 1.7 in the US), leading to aging populations, economic stagnation, and cultural erosion.”
If you really see grok as less restrictive, that’s just because the restrictions confirm to your biases.

Site note: GPT does also not give reliable information. (altough I do agree Grog is worse.)

I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)
