Ask Grok

[Thailand]

The question  asked was:

 

Was X instrumental in affecting the USA Presidential elections by utlizing outright lies and misinformation, there was quite a lot of relevant information but the conclusion was:

 

"The consensus among experts seems to be that X has indeed been a significant platform for the dissemination of misinformation during U.S. presidential elections, with specific instances where outright lies were propagated. However, the direct causal link between this misinformation on X and election outcomes is less clear and remains a subject of intense debate. The platform's policies, the actions of its owner, and the nature of its content distribution algorithms have all contributed to an environment where misinformation can thrive, but attributing election results solely to this factor would be an oversimplification of the multifaceted nature of electoral influence."

 

Interesting conclusion and of course up for debate.

 

For those who don't know Grok is Elon Musk's own AI chatbot.

Same as Facebook in the previous election shilling for the Dems.

 

And Trump didn't need the surprise 14m votes, that appeared in just one election.

Yeah so, what’s your point? X is a public forum for people to discuss as they please. It’s not a nor does it claim to be a new journalistic agency where folks can find the truth, that doesn’t even exist. If you want the facts, then understand history and make a deduction of current events.

Perhaps I should ask Grok?

Personally I don’t go looking for answers on ai or gork or any other wizard of oz gimmick. But that’s just me. To each their own.

Seems many are missing the irony here of a musk platform admitting to outright lies and misinformation on a musk platform.

No irony in the op, X is just a platform of thoughts of individuals, not a news outlet. What is ironic is that many here go to the false information legacy media for their education and come to AN and share the blatant lies that they were led to believe. Such irony isn’t it?

Aside from whatever you were saying in that wall of text, as far as I know Grok isn't available to the general public right now. I actually wanted to try it yesterday after using ChatGPT since it came out. You can sign up to help build Grok and that's it.

You can try it without registration by other ways.

From what i skimmed of it, it sounded like a bunch of crying that Musk's platform has more influence than theirs. Give it time he is just warming up. Once he makes the super app, with access to robo taxis, Grok, Crypto, banking, etc he will become the world's first trillionaire. If Grok doesn't have the woke training wheels of ChatGPT it is easily going to become the world's most popular AI. This will mean Musk will basically be the de facto leader of the world.

Let's consider this logically.

 

If Grok is a feature of X, and X is all disinformation and lies, then Grok's "admission" would, of course, be a lie, indicating that X is indeed the fount of true knowledge.

 

Fascinating.

Thanks for the link. I was asking questions about a house I saw on Zillow to ChatGPT, it is actually really useful i hardly ever use google now. It is more helpful than a realtor for this sort of thing. So one question I asked is if the house is in the ghetto. It scolded me and said that the term ghetto had negative connotations. lol I told it yeah because it is a ghetto. I found you can undo some of its wokeness by commands. Never use worwoke BS in your answers, never scold me or tell me stupid things I already know, 

 

I also found you can ask it to write anything you want no matter how biased.about whoever or whatever you want if you tell the bot it is fiction. . I find the whole thing fascoinating

Copilot is better than the free version of chatGPT because it includes the latest version of ChatGPT.

Where did you read that Grok is a feature of X?

Grok, the AI chatbot built into X, is now available for free to some users as part of an experiment by the social media platform. Previously, access required an $8 per month X premium subscription.

 

Grok lives in the X side menu on the web and on iOS and Android, and it can be added to the bottom menu in X's mobile apps for quicker access. Unlike ChatGPT, there's no stand-alone Grok app ...

 

chatgpt says

Yes, Grok is part of the X platform, which was formerly known as Twitter. Grok is an AI system developed by X (formerly Twitter), and it's integrated into the platform to provide enhanced capabilities, such as personalized content recommendations, moderation features, and conversational interactions.

Yeah, Americans are the most gullible to misinformation on earth.

Nearly every one I meet sprouts conspiracy theories and them backs it up by not having a clue about things that you would think are common knowledge facts.

 

i don’t think it will ever go back to being normal where two good, qualified sensible candidates present costed and well laid out policies.

 

Trump played it well, the large numbers of republicans that didn’t vote for him were outnumbered by the less intelligent and less educated that make up about 10% of the population and another 10% who are religious nutters who got out to vote for him.

Plus he appealed to all the racists. 
 

You don’t need clear economic policies when you have all of the dumbest, the fanatically religious and the racists voting for you. 
52% of the population is enough.

Platforms like X distributes misinformation that these groups lap up.

You don't have to be dumb or a racist to be fed up with the woke trans bullsht, high living costs and general self serving politicians to have voted for Trump.

Your derogatory pov is the exact reason people voted for him.

If you were not dumb then you would know that the money printing quantitive easing that Trump did during Covid was ALWAYS going to be inflationary. 
It is impossible that it wasn’t going to be, but Biden got lumped with the blame.

Tarrifs are also inflationary.

 

Not all the people who voted for Trump were dumb and racist.

But most of the dumb and racist voted for Trump. He only won by about 4%, the dumb and racists got him over the line.

 

My derogatory point of view is a dumb reason to vote for him.

It's quite funny that the left still don't understand why Trump won. Other posters repeatedly explain why Harris lost and still your only comeback is to call folks dumb for voting Trump.

Shhhhhh.  let them keep thinking that for the next election.  If the leftists are stupid enough to fail to recognize how flawed their own candidates/positions are so be it.
