Now I'm the first person to agree that X is a Nazi site run by a Nazi, but it's conspicuous how the prompts have been removed here. Without the prompts this doesn't prove much.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago (10 children)

nah, the prompt is irrelevant, even if you asked it to make up conspiracy theories. it shouldn't do that.

Grok is a tool, not an arbiter of truth. It doesn't do anything, people use it to do things. The prompt does matter because that shows how it is being used.

The same way it does matter if you use a hammer to build a chair or break a skull.

Tools have safety features. Saws and grinders come with guards. Larger machines have estops and light barriers.

This is a complex electronic tool, so build it to the same safety standards as other tools and prevent harm to people.

Yeah, I agree with this. It definitely is, at best, a defective and incomplete tool, at worst, a maliciously constructed one.

yhea, that's BS and you know it.

plus, Grok has a history of promoting racist conspiracy theories
