On Friday, security tester Jax Winterbourne <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JaxWinterbourne\/status\/1733339886155968714?s=20\">tweeted<\/a> a screenshot of Grok denying a query with the statement, &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid I cannot fulfill that request, as it goes against OpenAI&#8217;s use case policy.&#8221; That made ears perk up online since Grok isn&#8217;t made by OpenAI\u2014the company responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/11\/chatgpt-was-the-spark-that-lit-the-fire-under-generative-ai-one-year-ago-today\/\">ChatGPT<\/a>, which Grok is positioned to compete with.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, xAI representatives did not deny that this behavior occurs with its AI model. In reply, xAI employee Igor Babuschkin <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ibab_ml\/status\/1733558576982155274?s=20\">wrote<\/a>, &#8220;The issue here is that the web is full of ChatGPT outputs, so we accidentally picked up some of them when we trained Grok on a large amount of web data. This was a huge surprise to us when we first noticed it. For what it\u2019s worth, the issue is very rare and now that we\u2019re aware of it we\u2019ll make sure that future versions of Grok don\u2019t have this problem. Don\u2019t worry, no OpenAI code was used to make Grok.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In reply to Babuschkin, Winterbourne wrote, &#8220;Thanks for the response. I will say it&#8217;s not very rare, and occurs quite frequently when involving code creation. Nonetheless, I&#8217;ll let people who specialize in LLM and AI weigh in on this further. I&#8217;m merely an observer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1989950#p3\">Read 6 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1989950&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1989950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elon Musk\u2019s new AI bot, Grok, causes stir by citing OpenAI usage policy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge (credit: Getty Images) Grok, the AI language model created by Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI, went into wide release last week, and people have begun spotting glitches.
