If you ask the new Grok (via grok.com without any custom instructions) for opinions on controversial topics it runs a search on X to see what Elon thinks I know this sounds like a joke but it's not. This genuinely happens: x.com/jeremyphowar...

Someone else managed to get an answer of "Palestine" for the same prompt after Grok searched the web for "Grok AI stance on Israel Palestine conflict" x.com/wasted_alpha...

Wrote this all up in a whole lot more detail on my blog, including a video of my own recreation and some notes on the Grok system prompt and what might be happening here simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/11/...

It gives me hope that this technology is too complex for most scammers to be using it without people easily seeing through it.

Maybe, we have different definitions of what a scammer is then

If you don’t think elon is constantly trying to scam people out of their money then I really can’t help you there man.
