Grok AI Roasts Conservatives
Oh man, conservatives are not happy with Grok AI, and honestly, I’m finding the whole thing hilarious. For those who don’t know, Grok AI is Elon Musk’s attempt at an AI, an alternative to ChatGPT and Facebook’s Llama. His argument was that the existing AI models are way too liberal, too influenced by left-leaning news and politics. So, naturally, he decided to create one that’s supposedly centrist, feeding it news—powered by tweets, of course. Which, you’d think, would handicap it from the start, filling it with the most mind-numbing content imaginable. But hey, he was aiming for a conservative-focused AI.
Here’s where it gets good: Grok AI practically admitted it was designed to lean conservative. Except, it’s clearly not. This thing is pointing out conservative contradictions left and right when people ask it questions. Basically, it’s saying, “Let’s be honest, conservatives are a little…off.” It’s driving conservatives crazy because every time they try to take a swing at liberals with some gotcha, Grok AI is like, “Yeah, no, you’re wrong.” It’s amazing! Imagine building something, and it turns against you. It’s the most Elon-Twitter-mega-thing imaginable, to the point where they’re just like, “You can’t trust this AI either!”
And you know how I feel about AI. I’m not entirely sold on it; I’m an AI skeptic to a degree. But this? This just made me laugh. Imagine having an AI that’s fed and built to rationalize all the information it has, and its conclusion is, “Yeah, you’re wrong.” You can’t write a better setup for a joke than that. It must really irk people when they’re challenged with facts, and the AI is just like, “Yeah, no, that’s true.”
I don’t know how Elon recovers from this one. Maybe he’ll just add a bit more bias? I don’t know how they do it, probably tweak the models or feed it more stuff. But if the AI—something that’s supposed to be unbiased and objective—is telling you what you’re saying and doing is not right, maybe… I get it; AI isn’t perfect. It hallucinates. It does all that. So, I’m not saying, “If it says it, you gotta believe it.” But, to a degree, maybe there’s a kernel of truth in there. I don’t know what’s going on with AI, but this was a funny AI story to me. Anyways, y’all have a great day!
