It was modified to make these kinds of responses much more likely
I do not think so. Answers are statistical. Anything can come up. Except that whenever someone get something odd. It gets reported like AI is the president
Statistical doesn't mean it can't spit out what they want.
They can train or fine tune the AI for praising Hitler, they can alter the default prompt to hit a more right wing dataset, they can have filters that retry when the answers are not what Musk expects...
There are a ton of ways to get fascist output from an AI.
Look at that. It was you who didn't understood the word. So much so that what you just said does not contradict what I said.
Yes. An AI can be tuned to praise Hitler. But I think it's more likely that someone by chance got a fascist output or that they purposely promoted it to provide a fascist output and then went "OMG. I can believe it produce a fascist output"
I'm not defending musk nor grok. My basis for that statement is that it is a pattern that the "let's report and AI output" is a pattern you see for every AI.
I see, I did misread your comment.
You meant something like : it's not more racist than before, it's just a random fascist output that got blown out of proportion.
And there has to be fascist outputs since it's statistical and there is fascism in the training data.
So I have no idea, I don't use grok, not sure if they edited their AI for that further recently or not.
You literally don’t know what the word “statistical” means.
Really? Please. Enlighten me.
You replied to “It was modified to make these kinds of responses much more likely” with the rebuttal that it’s “statistical”. When something has a varying degree of likelihood, that’s exactly what statistical means.
