I don't think so, at least not with the previous version. When asked if it would vote for Trump or Harris, it said Harris

This is the second launch. Because during the first grok wasn't politically aligned enough with elon.
Is this true or are you just speculating based on nothing
That says he is trying to make it neutral, not aligned with him.
Yes. And Elon is also a free speech absolutist. It’s amazing how many people lose all critical thinking ability when someone like Elon promises them something despite decades of lies.
It's actually the opposite. I asked about some details in the current ukraine situation, and it stated mostly facts with a few words critical of Trump. This is about neutral. But it showed pretty strong Keynesian tendency when I asked it about some economic policy issues earlier.
I'm not sure if it's practically possible to corrupt the training data that much while still giving sensible answers. After all, reality has a well-known liberal bias.
It's easy enough to system prompt. Even if it's not now it can be added at any time.
