wow - I love it. Both interactions on this matter reveal the amazing faculties of the human mind and the still limited finite use of AI in finding real solutions in a real world. Worth the read and also an informative piece of reading.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing it! I think I may have told you that this is exactly the kind of thing I've been working on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSaCPtXokhq4twqzceoVgWoK3ZjF_SDR3ovx8KSQSZBL7vc8yzhSfBBX4yQc4yvucOFhySZkx7H9V36/pub

I checked out your link and like what I see there. It makes a lot of sense.

Very similar and very necessary steps for AI to be of more excellent use in solution seeking.

I question whether persistence and having it change grades/opinions is anything but confirmation bias that it's providing to you. Will your input/influence actually make a difference in anybody else's interaction with it? Somehow, I think that answer is "doubtful". I think your assessment regarding the use of liberal sources and talking points is correct as it pertains to input.

This is the "logic drift" Alex is talking about in his reply. You may want to click on the link he posted to get an idea what the solution he is working on looks like.

The way I see it, regardless of Grok's default intentions or how it can be persuaded to change them, it still has better access to information than possibly any human. That makes AI valuable in any effort to evaluate data.

However, due to the flaws in AI, like any other tool, it must be guided. As long as this is understood, it can be put to good use.

"inflaming a legal audience"??? Talk about software "barking up an inappropriate tree".

Please stop! Are we going to have to audit Honor Rolls too? I hereby certify you as on the Honor Roll. Thank you!

I've noticed Grok's output is nothing more than an aggregation of Google results in English-language form. So I find it worthless for anything other than coding tasks.

Hopefully Musk will back up his rhetoric about creating an AI that generates "truth" with Grok 4. Grok 5? 6?

Thank you for persisting with Grok. I have found it necessary to do so with most of my election integrity Grok queries, but rarely get what I consider to be satisfactory assessments. I now realize that persistence and analogies are necessary, and will use this article as a reference in the future.
