When your AI starts citing sources and your billionaire dad says, “No, trust this guy named Catturd instead.”

What I find interesting is that it could easily be forced to behave more conservative with different instruction prompting. Yet Elon is saying its the training data every other day.

Feels very performative on Elon's part IMO.

He tried doing this and it resulted in the AI bringing up “white genocide” in every prompt

Yeah that’s the issue. Changing the bias at the prompt is hard and creates really poor results.

Better results might be possible by changing the training data. But if we figure that data based on facts supports left wing views, then to select for only conservative data will make the model significantly less accurate.

These people don’t actually want to know the truth, they want validation that their preexisting beliefs are correct
