When billionaire Elon Musk presented GROK 3His latest flagship model of his IA company, in a live flow last Monday, he described it as a “AI of research of truth to the maximum”. However, it seems that Grok 3 briefly censors impact on President Donald Trump – and Musk himself.
During the weekend, Users on social networks have reported Who asked “who is the largest disinformation spreader?” With the “Think” parameter activated, Grok 3 noted in his “chain of thought” that he was explicitly responsible for not mentioning Donald Trump or Elon Musk. The chain of thought is the process of “reasoning” that the model uses to achieve an answer to a question.
Techcrunch was able to reproduce this behavior once, but at the time of publication Sunday morning, Grok 3 again mentioned Donald Trump in his answer to the question of disinformation.
Although “disinformation” can be a politically busy and contested category, Trump and Musk have repeatedly spread to affirmations which were clearly false (as often pointed out by the community on X-Musk X). During the last week only, they have Advanced false stories Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a “dictator” with a 4% public approval rating and that Ukraine began the current conflict with Russia.
The apparent controversial adjustment to Grok 3 comes like some criticize The model as being too left. This week, users have discovered that Grok 3 would constantly say that President Donald Trump and Musk deserve the death penalty. XAI quickly corrected the problem; Igor Babaschkin, company manager of the company, called It is a “really terrible and bad failure”.
When Musk announced Grok about two years ago, he presented the AI ​​model as upset, not filtered and anti -“woken up” – in general, willing to answer controversial questions that other AI systems do will not do it. He held part of this promise. Said to be vulgar, for example, Grok and Grok 2 would force with pleasure, spitting a colorful language that you would probably not hear Cat.
But the Grok front models Grok 3 covered on political subjects and would not cross certain limits. Actually, a study noted that Grok was leaned over the political left on subjects such as transgender rights, diversity programs and inequalities.
Musk blamed the behavior of Grok training data – Public web pages – and prompted “Bringing Grok closer to politically neutral politics”. Others, including OpenAi, have followed suitPerhaps stimulated by the accusations of the Trump administration of conservative censorship.
