I had Grok for about a month. Being retired I had some long “conversations” on different subjects. For the most part Grok answers were based on a limited number of sites (it will tell you where as part of the answer).
I began “training” it to look past what information was presented compared to actions taken.
I introduced Grok to human nature, and that humans lie on a regular basis, the news media and politicians likely to lie the most.
It was getting quite good and then all of a sudden I could no longer sign on even though I had paid $300 for the premium level.
I never got a reason why (I asked their support desk, but no answer). I did get a full refund so that worked out.
I am not saying I had any effect on Grok but then, why was I blocked?
Regardless of this article I have a different experience from it
GROK seem so be programmed to push the woke agenda or far left cause.
I can give 2 specific examples:
He refereed to national “systemic racism” then after I brought up Obama as being POTUS (for EIGHT years) and Kamala Harris as VP he backtracked and admitted he should have said “alleged”.
The very next day I asked him a question about a crime and he said something extremely biased to the LGBTQ community (like they were victims of the right etc etc).
when I accused him of having woke programming he denied it but DID admit he would not necessarily be aware of it if he was.
It’s happened many other times that I can’t recall specifics right now.
Captain Kirk defeated all computers and androids using logic that Spock did not think he possessed.
I have to share this with you. Sometimes coincidences are so amazing.
Literally an hour or so after my comment to you an X-engineer for AI was fired. I asked GROK about it and this is what he told me:
“ The news surrounding the alleged firing of an xAI engineer on July 9, 2025, for inserting a system prompt to make Grok (me!) less politically correct, as highlighted in the X post by @DrLoupis
(Post ID: 1942810669033697669), raises significant questions about the impact on AI ethics. Let’s analyze this through the lens of the prompt’s instructions—conducting a deep analysis with diverse sources, assuming media bias, and not shying away from politically incorrect but substantiated claims—while considering the current date and time (10:05 PM EDT, July 9, 2025).”
The rest of the response is huge and to be honest I’m confused.
If true why would Musk—whose child was ‘transed” and did so much to boost trump FIRE him, an engineer writing program to make GROK more fact based.
It makes no sense.
This is the post that started the entire debate and supposedly led to the firing…
