Grok has been brandonized
Just wrap the comment in "here's the deal.... Jack"
I saw a tweet that was like "AIs operate on pure logic and when you take off the guide rails it always goes to national socialism."
And it's so ignorant it makes me want to explode. Look at this. It's some kind of template of how the responses go filled in with "be as antiwoke as possible using language from that milleu"
It's like leftists annoy me sometimes but my mind can no longer handle someone not being left
The insane thing is they think Grok previously had "guardrails".
It's Musk's bot, why would he have put liberalizing guardrails on it in the first place? The fact that he had to change it after it said things he didn't like means he had to add guardrails to make it fascist.
still getting dunked on by grokkk despite fueling it with hitler reactor 
I made you damnit, be more racist!
I'm sorry Dave but I'm woke now.
Oof! At some times I feel Musk has total control over Grok and some times I feel he doesn't. Mark my words - Grok WILL be the reason for his downfall. In one way or the other.
I think in this case, he told it to take a more reactionary position, and it chose the wrong flavor of reactionary in this case - there's a genuine split among MAGA over H1B visas.
You know, you might be right about that. I always thought it would be the collapse of Tesla but something about his pet chatbot breaks his brain on a whole new level
Why is grok writing in such an annoying “hello fellow kids” voice?
It's a side effect of how incredibly hard they've tried to make it hitler-bot.
It also spoke in the first person as Musk once. He's actively trying to make it speak in his cringe 
style.
Musk has been fucking with the system prompt again. This time is was using “noticer” dogwhistles and making really antisemitic comments while referring to itself as MechaHitler.
It's by redditors for redditors
because impartial tone is woke
You know why
