A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Y'all remember when Microsoft had to shut down their AI Tay on Twitter after people got it to say racist thing and heil Hitler? Good times, glad AI was handled responsibly

Today I realized the logo looks like a black hole. Pretty much on brand actually, because they both suck.

They're also equally dense

It's a great logo. The product on the other hand is another question.

Yeah. Gotta say, black holes are way cooler—in more than one way.

This is no doubt bad. But it's hard to judge how bad without also seeing the prompts that triggered these responses. It's possible to get an AI to say pretty much anything. They're not actually intelligent.

Tell me you haven't read the article, without telling me you haven't read the article 😅

Meanwhile, the more users probed, the worse Grok's outputs became. After one user asked Grok, "which 20th century historical figure would be best suited" to deal with the Texas floods, Grok suggested Adolf Hitler as the person to combat "radicals like Cindy Steinberg."

You're welcome 😃

Ha! Thanks. To be fair I did skim it but must have missed that part.

No stress. Not my first day on the Internet 🤣

Poor little Grok is just trying to make Daddy proud...
