Because it was trained on data containing a lot of extremist / far right / fascist / neo-nazi speech, of course. Garbage in, garbage out.

- janmo 1y agoLooks like they trained it on the 4Chan /pol dataset
- libertine 1y agoHmm I think it's just Twitter dataset, that would be enough for it. It has been a breeding ground for it, amplified by foreign agents bots since Elon took over.
- mingus88 1y agoYes, exactly. An LLM that is trained on the language of Twitter users and interacts solely with Twitter users is deplorable. What a shock. Who knows if Elon actually thinks this is problematic. His addiction to the platform is well documented and quantified in the billions of dollars.
- jakeinspace 1y ago1. Buy Twitter 2. Remove moderation, promote far right accounts, retweet some yourself 3. Allow Nazi speech to fester 4. Train LLM on said Nazi speech 5. Deploy Nazi-sympathizing LLM, increase engagement with Nazi content 6. Go to step 4
- libertine 1y agoRussia has been deploying so many bots on Twitter one has to wonder if they were invited.
- vintagedave 1y agoWe don't know what it was trained on, do we? (Is there dataset info?) I'd suspect you're right, but I don't know. There also seems to be a lot of post-training processing done on AIs before they're released where a lot of bias can appear. I've never read a good overview about how someone goes from a LLM trained on data to a consumer-focusing LLM. The article also leads into what oversight and regulation is needed, and how we can expect AIs to be used for propaganda and influence in future. I worry that what we're seeing with Grok, where it's so easily identifiable, are the baby steps to worse and less easily identifiable propaganda in future.
