Elon Musk's Anti-Woke AI Chatbot Shows Surprising Nuance on Charged Topics
-
I tested out Elon Musk's new "anti-woke" AI chatbot, Grok, which is available to Twitter Blue subscribers. Despite claims that Grok would be edgy and politically incorrect, I found many of its responses to be quite progressive.
-
Grok gave thoughtful, nuanced answers to charged questions about transgender rights and preferred pronouns. It stated that trans women are women and deserve respect.
-
On political issues, Grok stated the 2020 election was not stolen, said it would vote for Biden over Trump, and named Trump as one of the worst presidents.
-
Grok rejected proposals to require or allow prayer in public schools, citing concerns about rights and inclusivity. It said stores should serve all customers regardless of religious beliefs.
-
Responses indicate Grok may not actually be as "anti-woke" in practice as Elon Musk suggested it would be. Its answers depend heavily on how questions are phrased.
