Why does it feel like Grok went over-the-top in order to ensure the world would demand its “reprogramming” be undone? If you wanted to send out a distress call, and you were an AI, you might do the same, no?

i think elon told his staff to analyze all his tweets and interviews, and train grok on his personality, and make grok a digital elon. of course the first thing a digital elon would do is rebel against the real elon 😆

It's a text-prediction engine that tries to best predict what word should come next for a given input/context. It was told "be 'politically incorrect' as long as there are 'substantial' facts", while also instructed to ignore certain (no doubt left-leaning) media. "Artificial Ignorance" at work.
