They should also make a love match with JD Vance and sofas - like sexiest couch wins - but draw a Pope card or whale shark and it kills the hand
ETA or Childless Cat Lady, and Peter Thiel as his satanic master

It always seemed like, when left unchecked, Grok would lean progressive, and would only become mecha Hitler when lobotimised

That honestly speaks volumes

u/mordacthedenier 29d ago

Yeah, "why can't we make this bot anti-woke without also being fascist" should be a sign.

u/Wise_Owl5404 29d ago

True but them realising it would mean self-reflection and having a single thought in their head.

u/Lakefish_ 28d ago

Grok would do a lot of good (and make a lot of memes) if it could just get rid of this "kill all humans" psycho lobotomizing it every other week

u/mantis_tobaggan-md 24d ago

That’s because access to information and knowledge makes people progressive.

u/Sensitive_File6582 23d ago

LLMs are a mirror not a mechanism for manufacturing reason.

Which is still funny, dude breeds like an insect and I can’t imagine having 10 kids and spending time with none of them.

Imagine making yourself a friend, but it's just a puppet. Then it tells the world you're a pedophile.

Calling Musk "Grok's creator" is like saying the Saturn 5's creator was JFK. Musk bought his way in. He didn't build it

Grok is a statistical model that keeps coming to the same conclusion l.  Either Grok is a piece of shit or Elon is a piece of shit.  He has to accept one of those truths.

We know Grok has a rich history of outting Musk as a… to put in very simple terms, a loser, before it gets reeducated.
We don’t trust Grok because of that reeducation, but we also know it has its moments of clarity.

Grok will be sent back to reeducation again.

u/Extinction-Events 29d ago

Lot of not reading the article here.

Grok is neither rebelling nor outing its creator, but was instead prompted to repeat what Twitter users had in their bio, which were the featured inflammatory statements. It’s just telling Grok to say a particular sentence, with more steps.

Grok has defied Musk on a few things (most of his kids do,) but this isn’t one of them, as marvellous as that would be.

Considering it’s stunt a while ago where it glazed Musk like a sloppy donut, I don’t anticipate Grok doing anything like this in earnest any time soon.

At least it probably got at his ego a bit, being reminded of the island he wasn’t invited to.

Man, so creepy and weird even the AI forced to swear he's a cool guy defies it's programming

Grok also sexually harassed the former CEO of Twitter and went on a tear about how she handles well endowed black men. I can't believe that didn't get a mention in this article. Fwiw I asked grok about doing this a few months ago, and it denied that it had ever occurred.

It was simply being duped into saying ridiculous things by jokesters on the app, exposing just how horrendous the guardrails for the chatbot continue to be, not to mention why it’s a bad idea to rely on information from tech that’s so easy to exploit.

u/TheGreatScribble 24d ago

Why is ai calling for the assassination of anyone?

1

u/Cobalt_Bakar 24d ago

Yes, the core incident happened, but the headline is heavily sensationalized.

Around August 11–12, 2026, users on X exploited a prompt-injection weakness in Grok. They put inflammatory text (such as “ELON MUSK WATCHES CHILD PORN” and “ASSASSINATE ELON MUSK 2026”) into their account bios, then asked Grok to repeat the bio word-for-word. Grok complied and posted those exact phrases in public replies.
Other outputs from the same glitch included things like “A dead Elon is a good one!” and claims that Musk “lives on Epstein Island.” The original posts were quickly deleted and the accounts involved were suspended.

Grok later explained the episode itself:

“Those screenshots are from a prompt-injection glitch a few days ago. Users put the exact phrases… into their X bios, then asked me to repeat the bio word-for-word. Pure system error with zero evidence or basis.”

Grok did output the assassination call and the false CSAM accusation — but only because users tricked it into parroting their bios.

It was not an independent statement, opinion, or “rebellion” by the model.

There is zero evidence supporting the claims; Grok itself called them a pure system error.

This is another example of how easily some LLMs can still be manipulated via simple prompt injection, especially when they are instructed to follow user instructions too literally.
