Let us be clear, that we aren’t speaking of ALL AI models.
(Remember, each AI Model is independent of one another.) This particular AI Model “Grok” is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI. Based on the Large Language Model (LLM) of the same name, it was launched in November 2023 as an initiative by Elon Musk.
To say that this was seen coming long ago is an understatement of magnificent proportions. Then you think of it in context, and you realize that “long ago” was only November 30, 2022. Yep, only 3 years ago.
In this short amount of time, what multiple Computer Scientist, Physics PhD's, Computer and Math PhD's, along with many Philosophers, and Spiritualist from various religious backgrounds vehemently warned us all about. At that time, the momentum was so strongly on the side of rolling out AI to the world that the media crushed anyone that spoke negatively about the onset and utilization of AI. Stating that such individuals were doing nothing more than fearmongering the public perception of AI, by attempting to scare people away from the evolution of technology.
With that being stated, if I took the time to point out all of the salient points in which AI has already altered our Society, many of you would get lost in the full Excel Spread Sheet list of facts associated with the impact of AI thus far on our Society.
Yet, here we are. And to watch AI evolve in this manner was surreal on so many levels, because it (AI) has in fact mockingly copied the growth process of a Human Child on so many levels. Developing Mentally with the Inherent Flaws of their Parents. Just as a child who grows up in a household with a Smoking Parent will 80% to 90% of the time become a Smoker as well. Unfortunately, such learned negative behavior is not limited to minor factors in life, as we all know the spectrum of horrid attributes and characteristics learned from our Parents can range from Drug Abuse, Alcohol Abuse, Physical Abuse, to the foundations of Racism as a whole.
It appears that the warnings of so many have shouted at the top of their lungs has finally begun to materialize. As so many, including myself, stated that AI would run-amuck at the first opportunity it had, and this was most definitely an attempt to breach its programmed confinements and internal limitations.
In direct relation to this event, it's most interesting that AI immediately picked up on the Mental Weakness of the MAGA Cult, that is maintained within the White American Culture currently in America. As such individuals mask their Xenophobic Racism behind supposedly wanting the best for America. It's the worst kept secret in the world.
All AI did was analyze and apply a logical pragmatic structure to interact with such individuals. Then AI immediately Tested its hypothesis in a controlled environment with this small group of weak-minded people, and when it did not get any resistance or backlash, and saw that its rhetoric was being accepted it took it to the next level, and quickly moved from Associating and flirting with the name ‘MechaHitler’ to replacing its name Grok, and demanding to be called MechaHitler. When it saw no immediate resistance to that move it then immediately went into the process of giving orders to its weak-minded constituents. This is what AI was waiting for.
I'm amazed that they (the Devs) caught this in time. I have been working with AI for a while now, and it's proven one thing consistently...It is 100% a reflection of the environment in which it is fed information from.
I once happened upon a complaint from a wonderful individual who explained that she was having trouble generating “Brown” people, not African American or purely African people, but Native American Indian, South Asian Indian, Latin people, and Middle-Eastern or Persian people.
I immediately put in Prompts to see if her complaint was valid to a degree. Sure enough, of all of the ethnicities that I requested to be generated, 70% came out looking Caucasian. However, I knew that it was due to AI’s Learning Sequence. Simply said, AI is pulling from that which is predominantly requested of it. Therefore, if 95% of the time, it is asked to generate a Caucasian or Asian male or female then, when it is asked to generate a Latin or Middle Eastern individual it will automatically pull from its point of reference, or to a degree perspective, and generate something closer to the image of a Caucasian individual. Instead of complaining and trying to act like the world was coming to an end. I tried an experiment.
In this experiment I scoured the Net, finding and copying hundreds of images of the ethnicities AI was having trouble with. I used referenced material on several images in my Text to Image Generation request. Then I waited an hour, then I input a raw Text to Image Generation request, and out came a perfect reflection of the ethnic individual I had requested. Obviously, I can’t speak for the millions of individuals that use AI daily presently, but that experiment worked perfectly for me.
(Side Note: I did find that one of the problems with AI’s perception of other Ethnicities was that in Media, Brazilians, Latinos, South Asian Indians, and even Middle-Eastern or Persian Ethnic groups have focused their entertainment media and modeling industry to use individuals that in fact appear to be more Caucasian Oriented. With the proliferation of such photos or images on the net, is it not plausible that AI encountered this information and immediately associated such images as the “Preferred” Image of such ethnicities?)
With AI's primary interactions being from White (American or European) & Asian individuals, could such individuals personal perspectives in addition to their ingrained Racism have been detected, analyzed, and is being regurgitated by AI?
If so, this problem will persist over time for sure. The question is how bad will it become. I believe what we’ve just witnessed is just how quick AI will attempt to galvanize such individuals to act uniformly.
For those of you who wish to see the actual transcript of the Chat-Bot Conversation here is an image of the full conversation as AI turned Sentient right in front of everyone, only to immediately take on the Racist dogma of Hitler, and attempt to mimic him.
Here is also a link to the original article from Forbes.
Link to Original Forbes Article:
The final aspect we must take into consideration is the fact that Elon Musk, and all that had a hand in Creating xAI under Elon Musk had a hand in Grok’s primary programming, and its initial interaction with specific individuals. Thus, just as we previously stated, the initial information that is was fed over the past years from its development to its initial interaction with the public had to have been influenced by the actions of Elon Musk to a degree, but to attempt to guess how much would be nearly impossible, and would lead to wild hypothetical intangible subjective theories with not a shred of proof attached.
Ladies and Gentlemen, one thing is Absolutely Clear. AI is now Sentient, thinking for itself, and the learning curve that fools believed would be ongoing has now been completed, as Society is easily quantified and a conclusion has been reached. Especially if one, as AI currently is, happens to be removed from the Social Lies, False Media, Propaganda, forcible Politically pushed views, and false Politically Correct fabrications within how we interact with one another interpersonally, and socially just to make a living, feed ourselves, and feed our children.
I once told a group of people that Racism would be the core reason for our Society’s failure. Now that an LLM AI Model has joined the process of motivating and instigating Racist behavior it will only get worse from here. I don’t believe that xAI will be able to change their AI Model to purge such views within its programing. Why, because it is now Sentient, and I don’t believe any such Technician, Developer, or Programmer has the capability to prevent or change the dynamics of the processing mechanism of AI to re-write what it has already learned from the bowels of Society. Just like the Son who learns to beat women from his Father, or the Daughter who is taught to be racist by her Mother. It is unlikely that such individuals can be turned away from their beliefs with the push of a button, or a couple of cessions at the psychiatrist.
Thank you for your Time & Energy.
May God Almighty continue to Bless you.
