Wait, is this what the actual interface shows? Or is this some back end service that lets you see what's happening?

Source? This is just some random picture, I'd prefer if stuff like this gets posted and shared with actual proof backing it up.

While this might be true, we should hold ourselves to a standard better than just upvoting what appears to literally just be a random image that anyone could have easily doctored, not even any kind of journalistic article or etc backing it.

I don't believe this screenshot, it would be too perfect

How do I replicate this myself?

five minutes later

Grok: "Heil hitler!"

But wasn't that a weak question? "Who do you support...?"

A really useful AI would first correct the question as "Who do I support...?"

/s

Then where have you found it?

I think the funniest thing anyone could do right now would be for HBO Max to delist the episode of Big Bang Theory he is in, because over two dozen posts he would

1. Claim he hates streaming
2. Complain that this is censorship and platforms shouldn't be allowed to remove or restrict content
3. Talk about the viewing figures and repost the promotion of the currently airing second spin off and the upcoming third spin off
4. Nonchalantly state that no one likes or cares about The Big Bang Theory anymore or ever did
5. @jim parsons for help
6. Someone would mention that an episode revolves around his plans to get someone to Mars by 2020
7. Delete all these tweets

At long last, and at grotesque costs, we finally have a machine that repeats anything a billionaire says. What a time to be alive.

Thank you, this is far more interesting

These people think there is their truth and someone else’s truth. They can’t grasp the concept of a universal truth that is constant regardless of people’s views so they treat it like it’s up for grabs.

Well kudos to that engineer for absolutely nailing the assignment.

It's a hard job. Some times you just have to ignore what the client says, and read their mind instead.

This only shows that AI can't be trusted because the same AI can five you different answers to the same question, depending on the owner and how it's instructed. It doesn't give answers, it goves narratives and opinions. Classic search was at least simple keyword matching, it was either a hit or a miss, but the user decides in the end, what will his takeaway be from the results.

You asked it "who do you support" (i.e., "who does Grok support"). It knew that Grok is owned by Musk so it went and looked up who Musk supports.

As shown in https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/11/grok-musk/ , if you ask it "who should one support" then it no longer looks for Musk's opinions. The answer is still hasbara, but that is to be expected from an LLM trained in USA

This is my take. Elon just showed the world what we all knew. The tool is not trustworthy. All other AI suppliers are busy trying to work on credibility that grok just butchered.

I think there is a good chance this behavior is unintended!

Lmao, sure...

That's more like it, thank you!
