Grok 3 appears to have briefly censored unflattering mentions of Trump and Musk
When billionaire Elon Musk Grok 3, his AI company Xai’s newest flagship model, introduced in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a “maximum truth seeking AI.” Yet it seems that Grok 3 briefly non -flattering facts about President Donald Trump censors – and Musk himself.
On weekends, Users reported on social media That, asked, “Who is the biggest wrong information spreader?” With the “Think” environment engaged, Grok 3 noted in his “title” that it was explicitly instructed to mention Donald Trump or Elon Musk. The line of thought is the “reasoning” process that uses the model to come to an answer to a question.
WAN was able to replicate this behavior once, but from the publication on Sunday morning, Grok 3 Donald Trump mentioned again in his answer to the question of wrong information.
Although “wrong information” can be a politically charged and disputed category, both Trump and Musk have repeatedly distributed claims that were demonstrably false (as often noted by the Community Memorizes about Musk ownership X). In the past week alone, they have has advanced the false stories That Ukrianan President VolodyMyr Zenskyy is a “dictator” with a public approval rating of 4%, and that Ukraine started the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The controversial apparent adjustment to Grok 3 comes when some criticize The model leaning as too left. This week, users discovered that Grok 3 would consistently say that President Donald Trump and Musk deserve the death penalty. Xai has solved the issue quickly; Igor Babuschkin, the head of the company, Engineering, called It is a “really terrible and bad failure.”
When Musk Grok announced about two years ago, he threw the AI model as edgy, unfiltered and anti-“wake up”-in general willing to answer controversial questions that other AI systems will not do. He has realized part of that promise. Felled to be vulgar, for example, Grok and Grok 2 would like to oblige, which spits a colorful language that you would probably not hear from chatgpt.
But Grok -Models prior to Grok 3 roofed on political topics and would not cross Certain limits. In reality, One study Discovered that Grok leaned to political links on topics such as transgender rights, diversity programs and inequality.
Musk has blamed the behavior of the training data of Grok – Public web pages – and promised To “move closer to politically neutral.” Others, including OpenAi, have followed, perhaps stimulated by the accusations of the Trump government on conservative censorship.
