Ah, so you explicitly asked it to be racist as part of a roleplay, and now you're surprised that it was racist? If you'd prefer a model which would instead refuse and patronize you then there are plenty of other options.

As long as it doesn't do it in a normal conversation there's nothing wrong with having a model that's actually uncensored and will do what you ask of it. I will gladly die on this hill.

My reply was to someone who asserted "I have never heard of Grok using actual slurs" — no conditions attached — which was surprising to hear b/c Elon Musk's stated goal was to have Grok be a non-woke chatbot, and it seemed much easier to convince Grok to use slurs compared to its other commercial peers.

But yes, I would say I was also "surprised" in the sense that you say because soon after the "MechaHitler" incident, there seemed to be revisions to Grok that clamped down on any prompt with a potential for displaying outright bigotry, so I did not expect my prompt to be successful on first try. Even now, I just asked it to render "a painting of the Seine, by a hypothetical Adolf Hitler who has won WW2 and has gone back to painting" — and halfway through producing a self-portrait of Hitler in Nazi regalia by the Seine, it suddenly shut down.
