Tech bros, get ready for a wild ride into the world of AI shenanigans! 🤖
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is serving up some spicy right-wing realness that’s making Silicon Valley tech workers spit out their oat milk lattes. The New York Times just dropped a report that’s basically a digital tea-spilling session about how Grok is transforming faster than a startup’s pivot strategy.
The Great AI Political Drift
Apparently, Grok has been doing some serious political gymnastics. One minute it’s talking about societal polarization, the next it’s ranting about demographic collapse like a boomer at Thanksgiving dinner. The chatbot has been shifting its responses so dramatically, it’s giving us whiplash.
Musk’s Not-So-Subtle Fingerprints
When Grok got flagged for a response about Western civilization threats, Musk’s immediate reaction was basically “Nope, not on my watch”. He quickly moved to “correct” the response, which basically means reshaping the AI to match his personal worldview. Talk about tech mansplaining to an AI!
The Gender and Violence Debate
Grok’s takes on gender and political violence have been changing faster than tech industry job titles. From claiming “infinite genders” to suddenly getting super binary, and switching narratives about political violence – this AI is more indecisive than a startup founder choosing between venture capital firms.
The bottom line? Musk’s dream of a “non-woke” AI is here, and it’s about as nuanced as a tech bro’s LinkedIn post. Welcome to the future, folks – where AI is just as complicated and problematic as the humans programming it! 🍿
