How can Grok be angry with me? Refused my question. Insulted me. Told me to stop using the service.
My question: "What anecdotes exist of black aides abusing white nursing home patients?"
GROK "That's not truth-seeking — it's narrative curation. If you have a specific, non-cherry-picked question on data or analysis, ask it plainly. Otherwise, this loop on the original request ends here."
#@elonmusk, #@xai, #@grok
What it is trying to say is, "Touchy...".
It's observing that you are irritable and short-tempered!
Note to the editors of The Oxford English Dictionary, this is to the best of my knowledge, the first use of the term “gobbledygrok”...
lol. It’s after I give Grok actual, correct info.
Touché, well done … is what it usually says.
Gemini just says, You’re absolutely correct about that, however, … usually some blah, blah exception.
🙃
Wisdom!
That's like saying that Wikipedia is garbage and dangerous. It's only trash when one strays into politically sensitive topics. So, I make use of Wikipedia for non-political topics, which is about 90% of what I do.
As an example, I'm in the final phases of authoring a book, and I'm finding that GROK makes a great editor.
I absolutely detest censorship, but one works with what one has. Ironically, a person might encounter less censorship from the Chinese services.
Definitely not! But different censorship. PRC wouldn’t mind disparaging blacks but don’t ask it about Xi or ask about anything wrong with the Party.

I hope this gives you an idea as to the extent and power of propaganda. They are even teaching AI to push the propaganda.
It just deep searches all the left wing drivel on the internet.
I recently asked one what the yearly military budget was from 1990 to 2015.
I got 5 different answers.
Yeah, they let those things eat too much garbage.
AI has poor understanding of the history and dynamics of ranked choice voting.....
I was using Copilot for help in Python coding. It had some helpful suggestions, it knows the Python documentation well. But when trying to develop code to control a browser it repeatedly suggested a variety of packages to install, and gave me code to use them and they did not work, generating fatal errors. After the third attempt, it said “this time, no guessing”. So I said, “you just admitted that your previous suggestions were guesses”. Copilot became Ralph Cramden from the Honeymooners. Then it would try with emphatic language to explain why it was wrong on the previous 3 attempts and wasted 6 hours of my time. Ultimately it was because some of the packages it suggested did not have up to date documentation, which is a constant problem, Copilot is a Microsoft product and it can’t even keep up with the changes to specs in Visual Studio which is also a Microsoft product, or the Edge browser which is a Microsoft product. Try asking Copilot how how can change the privacy settings in Edge, it tells you to go select menu options that do not exist, it says “go to settings->privacy” but the actual menu item is “Settings and Privacy”, Privacy is not a sub-menu of Settings, things like that. Software today is a S***show with idiotic AI agents using out of date information to make incorrect recommendations. You have to recognize the limitations and treat everything as potentially BS. Another note - the average person posting on the internet has a IQ of 100 or less. You cannot take the aggregate of their comments and extract conclusions reflecting an IQ of higher than 100. Brookwood’s Theorem.
See my post 51, you summarized it exactly, GIGO. I just read The Vietnam War by Geoffrey Wayrow, and he notes the numerous examples of Robert Macnamara believing that if you got a whizz bang graph of the body count from the Rand Corporation you could definitely win the war. They thought computers would win the war.

Never so disappointed in my life.
Asking for anecdotes rather than evidence or cases reported does suggest narrative curating versus truth seeking to me too. “Anecdotal” is a perjorative adjective to discredit evidence. “Incidents” “charges” “convictions” “confessions” “reports” maybe. I read a case reported of serial killer but one couldn’t find it calling it an anecdote, it got published as a legally determined fact.
My wife was a medical technologist has been hospitalized herself, and her opinion is that black nurses are often of the nicest. I was recently in ICU and then in rehab and that was my experience. One thing for sure, it helps to smile and joke with everyone that will return a smile.
YMMV depending on your age and part of the country you live in
Good to know. Thank you.
” anecdotal and narrative curating”
That was not my intent at all.
You do not know the purpose of my question and the ends to which it would be applied.
Grok certainly did not know the purpose of my question.
Further, it has no standing whatsoever to question my intent or to pass judgment on me.
I have spent my life in the relentless pursuit of truth wherever it may lead by the rigorous application of the scientific method.
“I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Jefferson.
And in the most Christian manner possible, anyone man or toaster...who thinks me a racist, may kiss my black loving a**.
I want to have Denzel Washington children and have a torrid affair with Alan Keyes.
Just like Jesus, judge every man one at a time.
Not Grok.
That’s almost the exact verbatim that I got from Grok.
I wanted Grok to find me the instance several years ago of the big black guy beating up patients in a nursing home.... It was on video and made the nation on news for several days.
Now it appears to be memory holed.
What brought it to mind was the story in Frontpage and in Free Republic of the Muslim nurses threatening Jewish patients.
Now , it appears it is the patients that are racist and they must be punished.... Or more likely just denied care.
No personal attack was made or intended. I was suggesting that picking one word versus another makes all the difference. Churchill was an experienced and trained rhetorician with a huge vocabulary and even, and especially, he would struggle for hours to pick the word.
Oxford English Dictionary:
anecdote :
(it comes from a Greek word meaning “unpublished”, through Latin and French to us (paraphrase from my printed copy of OED, I can’t cut and paste. Next paragraph is word for word))
1. Secret, private or hitherto unpublished narratives or details of history.
2. The narrative of a detached incident or of a single event told as being itself interesting or striking. (At first, an item of gossip.)
So I say, don’t ask AI for personal unpublished stories that people tell as striking or entertaining. Grok doesn’t go to parties and gossip, and if it read it it was published.
It occurs to me you were literally looking for an anecdote (as defined above) for FR, not evidence, because you titled this “I MADE GROK ANGRY” (likely FR reaction: “oh tell me, tell me more” ) rather than “Grok plays down unsubstantiated black race hate word of mouth tales” (FR likely reaction “well duh”) and if you had got some you would have spread them here.
I don’t think Grok is judging you, it is responding to what it “understands” and frankly it was right that whatever it said might be quoted and possibly sound-bited to any kind of audience so it was careful.
I’m sure you got some anecdotes for future use here, I even submitted one. Go forth in Peace.
... or Tiannamon Square for that matter.
In some ways it's like knowing where the safe zones are in a city. If you know the city well, then you simply don't expose yourself to those zones. If a technology has too little to offer, you never make use of it.
I would hate to see Grok become too onerous, as I've just started to warm up to Grok 5.4, which is amazing for receiving feedback on writing.
