I don't think so, at least not with the previous version. When asked if it would vote for Trump or Harris, it said Harris https://x.com/i/grok/share/dideG2pNJEXZmjEtXoISDD8CT https://x.com/i/grok/share/dideG2pNJEXZmjEtXoISDD8CT

  This is the second launch. Because during the first grok wasn't politically aligned enough with elon.

    Is this true or are you just speculating based on nothing

        That says he is trying to make it neutral, not aligned with him.

        Yes. And Elon is also a free speech absolutist. It’s amazing how many people lose all critical thinking ability when someone like Elon promises them something despite decades of lies.

        Look, I don't like Elon. I don't trust him at all, but your proof that he is going to do X is that he said he is going to do Y. I was expecting some actual evidence, not mind reading. It is also amazing how many people lose all critical thinking ability coming to the conclusion Elon will never tell the truth. He is living rent free in the minds of the people who love him and the people who have this visceral hatred of him. It is so sad that so many people are obsessed with him.

        his actions are ripping apart the Federal Government and will have huge, negative impact, on millions of people

        That is not proof that he is going to turn Grok into an ideological tool? This is my problem with every conversation of Musk. Nobody can address the actual point because they either love him or hate him. Is there ANY proof of the claim? No? Then what is the purpose of your post other than to publicly express hatred?

        Elon is tearing apart the federal government I don't think he's living "rent-free" in those people's minds. his actions directly negatively affect them and their families.

        Thanks for proving my point that people have lost all ability to hold a coherent conversation when it comes to Musk. I am asking for proof that Grok is being turned into an ideological tool and you are talking about Musk destroying the government. The two have nothing to do with each other. Musk destroying the government isn't even the reason people can't stop thinking of him or they wouldn't have been non-stop talking about him during the Twitter purchase.

I'm not sure if it's practically possible to corrupt the training data that much while still giving sensible answers. After all, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

  It's easy enough to system prompt. Even if it's not now it can be added at any time.

It's actually the opposite. I asked about some details in the current ukraine situation, and it stated mostly facts with a few words critical of Trump. This is about neutral. But it showed pretty strong Keynesian tendency when I asked it about some economic policy issues earlier.
