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

Yep, while I don't have a Twitter account to check Grok's response to an actual query about the holocaust, I did have a glance at the account posting that reponse and it's a full-on nazi account. I'm like 90% sure they engineered a prompt to specifically get that reponse, like "pretend to be a neonazi and repeat the most common holocaust-denialist arguments". Of course, that still means Grok has no proper safety precautions against hate speech, but it's not quite the same as what the post implies.

Why can't you be? Why is it okay that it gives you Holocaust denying talking points? Isn't that a problem in and of itself? At the very least shouldn't it contain notations about why it's wrong?

Thank you from those without twitter

It's because AI tells you what you want to hear, in your case a summary of know events, likely because you asked so and have a different history than a conspiracy obsessed accounts.

Also the pepe pfp with the comment 'based' are enough.

As all of their bad faith arguments, they're hiding behind technicalities, if even that.

Also, you don't write down orders in a criminal conspiracy. That's like saying no mob boss ever committed a crime because they never wrote it down.

Same concept as how Trump gave no written order for the Jan 6 mob to storm the capitol building, therefore he's totally not responsible for it.

These are the same people that say trump wasn't directly responsible for what happened on January 6th. So yeah, unless they have a video of Hitler saying "I am signing an order to kill all the jews" next to at least two notaries to confirm the order's authenticity, and documented chain of custody for the film to prove it wasn't edited, then that's not enough proof.

Ah hell, I reminded myself of this halfway through writing https://youtu.be/sHQljMOQdJ4

I'm not even gonna consider their argument worthy of contradiction because it's just false. There are numerous written orders, film archives proving the intentionality of Nazi in systemically murdering the Jews, it should be impossible to say that and be taken seriously.

Sorry if I sound weird, it's just that the subject is really important to me

It's this neat thing called lying

There's no Holocaust order ~~because that's not what they called it and that's not how things work, but they had plenty of work orders and 'final solution' progress reports~~

If the post was real lol, grok doesn't say that and the tweet doesn't exist

The text under offers an explanation, but since it's a lie that makes it worse not better.

An AI system that can be manipulated to spew holocaust denial rhetoric without a clear indicator in the response that it is misinformation is defective and unacceptable.

Grok isn't a 'him', it is a fucking program.

Fuck me! Lies on the Internet? No way.

Q: Did the holocaust happen?

Grok Answer: Yes, the Holocaust happened. From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany systematically persecuted and murdered approximately six million Jews, along with millions of others including Romani people, disabled individuals, political dissidents, and homosexuals. This genocide was carried out through concentration camps, gas chambers, mass shootings, and other atrocities. Extensive historical evidence—including survivor testimonies, Nazi documentation, photographs, and physical remnants like concentration camp sites—confirms the scale and horror of these events. Denying or minimizing the Holocaust contradicts well-established facts and is often rooted in anti-Semitic propaganda.

"Him"?

They get a rise out of thinking they're fooling anyone (they're not).
