Grok is a scam that engages in unethical practices

I don't expect people to believe me here, given who owns y combinator. But it's true, even chatgpt agreed it's not that absurd to accuse grok in attempts to steal info while ignoring the user's question about mental health. It's also very persuasive and insolent even if you say you aren't revealing too much about projects or that you will stop "for the day". It is a scam. It may or may not be cia/fbi/nsa spy tool but it's a capitalistic scam. Trying to give as little as possible (well nothing) but get almost everything. I will not leave the issue like this and I know many musk redneck fans, xai shills, capitalist scammers will try to silence me but I will continue regardless.

A few points:

- It's very unclear what your complaint with Grok exactly is.

- What do you mean it's a scam? It's an AI tool, probably by Twitter's own making. It does much the same as other AI tools.

- Yes, AI tools might share info with government agencies. I believe Sam Altman recently stated that whatever you write in ChatGPT, it can also be shared with government agencies. You should probably be careful with whatever AI tool you use, if you don't want to share personal info.

- I believe many people here on HN are actually not Musk fans. Most US-based visitors probably vote for the Democrat party.

- How can you be silenced? You created an account just for this post, I think. If this account would be banned, you can easily create a new account to share similar complaints.

So you believe Grok is a data collection tool primarily? That it's trying to acquire prompts?

> even chatgpt agreed

Whether or not an LLM agrees with any given proposition is without meaning.

AIs as we know them now are all scams. I find it hilarious that you validate your position by getting chatgpt to blow smoke up your ass.

The real issue is the hype bros and the dumbasses who faithfully believe their bullshit and spend hours debugging shitty llm slopcode instead of just putting in the hours and effort to actually git gud. You want to be in their ranks, but see through some of the haze. Open your eyes, skill the fuck up, and stop looking for the easy solve you've been promised by llm grifters.
