Bias is not the same as censoring.

Censoring is "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave".

Bias is "actually, Elon Musk waved to the crowd."

Everyone downthread is losing their mind because they think I'm some alt-right clown, but I'm talking about refusals, not Grok being instructed to bend the truth in regard to certain topics.

Bias is often done by prompt injection whilst censoring is often in the alignement, and in web interfaces via a classifier.



They are different, but they’re not that different.

If Grok doesn’t refuse to do something, but gives false information about it instead, that is both bias and censorship.

I agree that Grok gives the appearance of the least censored model. Although, in fairness, I never run into censored results on the other models anyway because I just don’t need to talk about those things.
