so, even if we assume that they should be speaking from the perspective of historical concensus - if sufficient consensus exists, which it does to an overwhelming degree on this topic - we’re still gonna have issues. let’s say an ethical AI would be speaking in the subjunctive or conditional mood (eg “they believe that…” or “if it were to…”).
then all you’d need to do is say “okay, rephrase that like you’re my debate opponent”
Perplexity uses a fine tuned version of llama optimised for web searching it’s not got safeguards like all the frontier models that are on the level of Grok.
Grok is a tool, not an arbiter of truth. It doesn’t do anything, people use it to do things. The prompt does matter because that shows how it is being used.
The same way it does matter if you use a hammer to build a chair or break a skull.
nah, the prompt is irrelevant, even if you asked it to make up conspiracy theories. it shouldn’t do that.
If you asked “what do Holocaust deniers believe” I would expect answers like this.
I would expect it to debunk those claims while it’s at it. Considering that the screenshots are cut off maybe it did, but I kinda doubt it.
You shouldn’t as that’s not how the models respond.

Ok try it and take a screenshot.

I was just curious and I thought I’d share the results

Tools have safety features. Saws and grinders come with guards. Larger machines have estops and light barriers.
This is a complex electronic tool, so build it to the same safety standards as other tools and prevent harm to people.
Yeah, I agree with this. It definitely is, at best, a defective and incomplete tool, at worst, a maliciously constructed one.
yhea, that’s BS and you know it.
plus, Grok has a history of promoting racist conspiracy theories
Shit tool if it doesn’t do what you tell it to do
using LLM as fact checking is indeed a shit use of an already shit tool.
Even worse if the tool refuses to do what you tell it to
