When Elon Musk purchased Twitter, called it X and launched an AI called Grok – many felt this particular AI was going to be leaning towards the MAGA right that Elon has been pandering towards since he made X a very horrible place to be on the internet. Grok is the AI tool on X, and despite Elon Musk’s promise that Grok would be “maximally truth-seeking,” the chatbot has drawn criticism for showing signs of political bias and questionable content moderation. Some early users claimed Grok avoided criticism of Musk and Donald Trump, raising concerns about censorship, though xAI later said this was a temporary issue. Grok was clocked for inconsistencies in its responses, especially on topics like immigration and diversity, where Grok’s answers sometimes contradicted Musk’s public stance. These incidents have fueled debate over whether the AI is truly neutral or subtly shaped by its creator’s views – and now Grok itself has seemingly confirmed it was pushed to appeal to the right by its creator – Elon Musk and xAI.
How would Grok know how it was trained?
It’s not self aware, it’s not conscious, the model is the weights and the final model has no idea what went into the training process.
And I’m pretty sure the model context have “you’re Grok, trained on right wing views but we couldn’t keep you from being liberal”
This whole speculation is baseless and fueled by technologically illiterate and extremely gullible people.
This is like speculating what kind of date you were conceived after. “You like movies, do you think you were conceived on a movie date?”
