Only juvenile prompting and reporting finds value in "what nasty thing did the LLM say about Musk."

What's more interesting is the censorship on the input side. I wanted Grok to analyse a wood engraving from 1861, Gustave Doré's "Harpies in the Forest of Suicides". Wouldn't do it. Grok's content policy filter refused to accept the upload because..."boobies". So I pixelated the wood-engraved breasts and re-uploaded. This time it worked. [1]

What about Michelangelo's statue of David? Denied. Instead of pixelating, I cut out David's genitals and placed them on his leg, leaving a genital-shaped hole in the groin area. [1] Bingo. Image accepted. Genital location matters. Now wasn't this more interesting than "Musk-Bad-Man-Says-Grok"?

I mean, no? That's just general LLM safety nonsense, and very old news at this point.

The thing in the linked article is significantly more unusual.
