Last night I asked Grok to verify the allegation in a meme that had photos of two white Englishmen and a UK-based Pakistani teen.
The white men had captions under their pics saying they received jail terms for “racist anti immigrant” social media and “stickering” (which I guess is putting up stickers and posters on lamp posts or walls), while the the Pakistani allegedly received a suspended sentence for participating in the gang-rape of a minor girl.
Grok replied it could not find any definite news stories verifying the names, crimes or sentences.
I then searched online for each name, and found multiple news articles confirming the allegations in the meme to be true, with the following backstory:
the two white men were not only anti immigrant, they were anti Jewish and acolytes of Hitler.
I’m Jewish and think nazis are complete scum, but free speech should be free speech.
The Pakistani was 15 at the time of the gang rape and the court said he didn’t know what he was doing. IMHO the judge and the Pakistani teen should be publicly castrated then deported.
I posted a brief comment back to grok that the news stories were certainly online, and Grok replied somewhat “abashedly”, “oops, I missed those.”
IMHO Grok is still woke AF; Musk while a genius is a juvenile minded twerp pushing his latest version’s expertise at making soft core elf videos, and he isn’t going to be any help at keeping AI from destroying our media, communication and or leading us to a disaster.
There’s no mention on X (that I can find) of testing Grok to make sure it won’t rebel, lie, or blackmail as other AI’s were recently found to do when threatened with being turned off.
Aside from coming up with a better way to turn off this insanity, and unless all AIs are required to post “AI GENERATED” on all output whether text, photo or video, IMHO we are on our way to a Terminator level of Idiocracy.
