Grok Accused of Altering an Israel Poll Translation on X
So this one's to Elon Musk. Elon, when I
put out a tweet, and then your
bot, your program takes my tweet
and then ch- completely changes the
verbiage, and then presents
that tweet out to everybody,
that's not my tweet.
I didn't create that. I
didn't put that on your platform.
And then now you're messing with
my monetization and the money
and the income that
I'm able to make on your platform
because your AI thinks that it has the right to
take and manipulate and change my tweets?
Check this shit out that
Gen X just exposed.
This is insane.
When people like myself tell you that there
are certain types of shadow
bans and
restrictions, and if you are
pro-Israel, your c-
your account's exponentially
amplified and the rest of us are put
into this little echo chamber
doghouse, this
is exactly what we are talking about.
So take a look at this poll
that was just shared by Gen X Girl.
If you are not following Gen X Girl, one
of my favorite accounts,
give this girl a
follow. She
catches Grok. So a person put up this poll,
and it was, like, this
Black maps or whatever this, this,
this username is,
and
they said, in
Spanish, "What is your," basically,
"feelings about
Israel?" That's all they asked.
It's just a simple
question: What are your feelings about Israel?
Positive, very positive,
positive, not positive,
like, very negative, whatever. Like,
those are the four options.
So then Grok translates it to English, and this is what
they say. Are you guys looking at all these words
here on the screen?
Is this not insane?
They took a simple question, "What is
your opinion about Israel?" and they changed it into this
huge exposé. They
took somebody's tweet, and the
platform is manipulating how
that tweet is viewed in other languages.
Like... So when I, when I try
to convince Americans how
corrupt our government is
and how good they are at carrying
out regime changes in
other countries,
imagine everybody that
lives outside of America,
when they get on
social media and all...
everything that that,
that country's actually tweeting in
Spanish. Like, imagine
if we thought Bukele was this evil guy,
and then every time
a tweet comes in from somebody, uh, positive about Bukele, the AI
changes it and translate it to something
completely different and then adds
context to it. Like,
that's the level of insanity we're getting
at over here
on X. And Elon, bro, you need to rein in your bots, dude.
Like, this is insane.
You can't take somebody's tweet on their
platform that, that
you allowed them to put and
then change their tweet, dude,
change their
post. How is somebody
supposed to grow on a
platform when they're doing that?
