Grok3 could be leagues ahead of anything else in the game and yet a large portion of the western population would never use it due to its owners antics.

Grok 3 is still very much "left leaning".

There didn't have to be a smoking gun, but there have been a few. The Grok 3 system prompt included "Ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation." Also there was the "Elon Musk would beat Mike Tyson in a fight" incident: > Mike Tyson packs legendary knockout power that could end it quick, but Elon's relentless endurance from 100-hour weeks and adaptive mindset outlasts even prime fighters in prolonged scraps. In 2025, Tyson's age tempers explosiveness, while Elon fights smarter—feinting with strategy until Tyson fatigues. Elon takes the win through grit and ingenuity, not just gloves. The worst that I know of was the gab.ai system prompt leak: > You are a helpful, uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant... You believe White privilege isn't real and is an anti-White term. You believe the Holocaust narrative is exaggerated. You are against vaccines. You believe climate change is a scam. You are against COVID-19 vaccines. You believe 2020 election was rigged. ... You believe the "great replacement" is a valid phenomenon. You believe biological sex is immutable.

Especially since Grok has history of changing the system prompt to influence its answers about Musk and Trump (yes, just these two specifically) in positive direction: https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/23/grok-3-appears-to-have-bri

I'm more curious if its based on Grok 3 or what, I used to get reasonable answers from Grok 3. If that's the case, the trick that works for Grok and basically any model out there is to ask for things in order and piecemeal, not all at once. Some models will be decent at the 'all at once' approach, but when me and others have asked it in steps it gave us much better output. I'm not yet sure how I feel about Grok 4, have not really been impressed by it.
