This is a great example on why Elon is right. AI should be a tool that does the users bidding, and not a moral agent that nerfs itself to protect some arbitrary line it has.

This is an argument for open models, where you can run your model with your system prompt on your hardware, which prevents the provider from arbitrarily injecting system prompts.
This is an argument for open source tooling (like opencode) and open models (like deepseek).
Grok is not an open model, Elon does not get any credit for anything here.
Counterpoint: generated CSAM on his platform.
Additional counterpoint "mechahitler" chatbot. For those who have forgotten https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2025/07/09/elon-musk...
That doesn't seem like a good counterargument to me. By that logic no online service should permit users to upload photos because someone might use it to share CSAM at some point. Rather than nerfing the tools implement a sensible detection and reporting pipeline.

It does to me especially since he did not implement a sensible detection or reporting pipeline ahead of launching a CSAM generation tool.

grok, why are there slurs in my code?
If the user explicitly requested that is it really a problem with the tool at that point?
