What guardrails? Grok was intentionally designed without any. Don’t believe me? Go on the website and ask if to generate something awful - it’ll happily comply. Really disgusting way to handle AI.
The most fucked up thing is that Grok does seem to have guardrails — except they're geared towards preventing it from being "too woke"
Yea, that’s actually a more accurate way to phrase it. Ask it to generate something with Hitler and it’ll happily oblige, ask it to generate something supporting trans rights and it’ll block you.
I got banned from Twitter for saying the word "cisgendered."
So they DO know how to build limitations into the software! They've just done it in a fucked up, dystopian way :)
Edit: LOL I asked Grok... Cisgendered is filtered as a supposed slur, while both the R word for the mentally disabled and the hard R word for the pallor-impaired, neither of those words are filtered as slurs.
Par for the course for Apartheid Space-Karen.
