🤖 #Grok, створений компанією #xAI, тимчасово відмовлявся відповідати на запити, в яких згадувалося, що джерела, пов’язані з Маском і Дональдом Трампом, поширюють дезінформацію.🤣

Головний інженер xAI Ігор Бабушкін зазначив, що причиною цього стала несанкціонована зміна системного підказу Grok, яку вніс один зі співробітників компанії, який раніше працював в #OpenAI.

Elon Musk’s OpenAI rival, xAI, says it’s investigating why its Grok AI chatbot suggested that both President Donald Trump and Musk deserve the death penalty. xAI has already patched the issue and Grok will no longer give suggestions for who it thinks should receive capital punishment.

Grok 3 appears to have briefly censored unflattering mentions of Trump and Musk

techcrunch.com/2025/02/23/grok

When billionaire Elon Musk introduced Grok 3, his AI company xAI’s latest flagship model, in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” Yet it appears that Grok 3 was briefly censoring unflattering facts about President Donald Trump — and Musk himself.

Did xAI lie about Grok 3’s benchmarks?

techcrunch.com/2025/02/22/did-

Debates over AI benchmarks — and how they’re reported by AI labs — are spilling out into public view.

This week, an OpenAI employee accused Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, of publishing misleading benchmark results for its latest AI model, Grok 3. One of the co-founders of xAI, Igor Babushkin, insisted that the company was in the right.

The truth lies somewhere in between.

@cwebber Sadly, this is because #LLMs (which most people think are AI instead of just a particular tool in the toolset) are primaily designed to "fill in the blank" with the most statistically likely words.

Being a very computationally expensive type of Mad Libs makes them sound convincing even when they are spouting nonsense. People can do this too, but LLMs often excel at it.

AI is great at a lot of things. As a natural language search of a given data set, it can be very effective and a heck of a lot easier to use than a search engine or regular expression, both of which require you to already have a good idea of what keywords you need to look for to find the information.

Even the new chain-of-thought systems are really just layering another pass through the LLM to turn its search strategy into natural language. It's not really #XAI yet. Someday, but not today.

I'm glad you're calling out the critical thinking part! Using current AI tools is a lot like using a calculator: it can make things easier, but you have to already know what you're trying to do and have at least a ballpark idea of what a valid answer should be to use one. Metaphors are tricky, but "AI as a calculator" is my current go-to for explaining when not to use one.
