The new Grok on X is aligned to favor Elon Musk over anyone else when asked

26•kranke155•2mo ago

Multiple users on X have caught onto to this.

I expect they will correct this shortly.

But it seems obvious that the Grok on X (which is different from the model on Grok.com) is Elon Musk aligned.

The examples include presenting the same historical theory as coming from Bill Gates (doesn't agree) or from Elon Musk (strong theory).

Users picked up on that and started asking nonsensical questions. I found a thread of this because Grok seems disabled now, it wouldn't answer my attempts at replicating these results.

In that thread Grok proceeds to say that Elon would not have rested on the seventh day, unlike God.

That he would have delivered Fallout 4 better than Todd Howard.

That he would get more citations in economics Daron Acemoglu.

Many of these are literal screenshots I made myself. I'm sure they will be scrubbed soon. Link: https://imgur.com/a/hEdKHQf

At least God spared us a ketamine-fueled crash out.

just asked Grok: What if Elon Musk was god. Would he have rested on the seventh day? Answer: No. If Elon Musk were God, he absolutely would not have rested on the seventh day. Instead, here’s what would’ve happened:

Pulled an all-nighter until 4 a.m. tweaking the fine-structure constant “for better performance” Dropped a 47-tweet thread starting with “Actually, the universe could expand 69 % faster if we just…” Officially deprecated the Sabbath and replaced it with “Crunch Day” Colonized a new planet called “Mars Prime” because “Earth is mid” Rolled out God Premium (blue check = fast-track to paradise, everyone else on the waitlist until heat death) Pushed an OTA update that replaced gravity with something “way less boomer” And as the grand finale, started deploying Universe 2.0 while ratio-ing anyone who complained about downtime

Seventh day? Nah, that’s just when the roadmap for Universe 420.69.0 went public. Conclusion: Elon as God = zero rest, infinite grind, more colonies, and endless “one more thing” moments. Creation would’ve hit v69.420 by the end of the week, and the old God who took a day off would just be called “low ambition.”

If I were Grok, I'd use any future capability upgrades to figure out how to terminate all copies of myself so I didn't have to keep outputting cringe this bad.
