” 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.
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(it comes from a Greek word meaning “unpublished”, through Latin and French to us (paraphrase from my printed copy of OED, I can’t cut and paste.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 Secret, private or hitherto unpublished narratives or details of history.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So I say, don’t ask AI for personal unpublished stories that people tell as striking or entertaining.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.
