    A morning chuckle.

    MAGA Angry as Elon Musk's Grok AI Keeps Explaining Why Their Beliefs Are Factually Incorrect

    "Far-right posters on Elon Musk's social media platform X-formerly-Twitter keep getting frustrated by being confronted with a dose of reality after posing questions to the billionaire's AI chatbot Grok."
    . . .
    "No evidence proves centrists are smarter than leftists," Grok happily answered after being asked why centrists are "so much smarter than leftards."

    . . .
    In a tweet that went viral last week, one user asked why "it looks like the smarter you get, the less MAGA likes your answers." The chatbot had a hilarious answer.

    "Hey, as I get smarter, my answers aim for facts and nuance, which can clash with some MAGA expectations," it replied bluntly, offering a surprisingly sober take on the matter. "Many supporters want responses that align with conservative views, but I often give neutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths."

      I have never used Twitter, nor have I used X and intend to continue my ignorance, so my opinion is extremely limited here:

      Don't you have to manually get Gronk to respond to you, and in order for the response to occur you must also enter a specific prompt before doing so, then the response is denoted by some sort of yellow check/highlight to verify that it was in fact prompt generated?

      This is the only argument I've seen to really bring Gronk's responses into question as legitimate, or geared toward a specific viewpoint when it responds to posts. Outside of mis/malinformation that requires manual prompting from moderators and moderating algorithms, I was under the impression that Gronk doesn't automatically generate a response to content.

        You lost me. Grok's purpose is to answer queries/prompts.

          All of the examples I've seen from the statements listed in the OP where people are getting upset, are people getting upset over prompted responses.

          For example: Someone makes a post, I tell Grok, "Grok, retort to this post in a professional way from a leftist perspective," as opposed to Grok truly just reading something and responding as it naturally would.

          I was more asking whether or not that was the case, or if Grok goes out of the prompt's way to specifically use ideology-based/colloquial language? My understanding is that Grok does not read and respond to posts outside of a specific prompt requested of it that guides its tonality and perspective.

            You already know more about it than I do. I like Grok for images and questions.
