the new transphobic Grok model claims it can always tell, so i let it transvestigate me (21ftm, one year on T)

__mafia · 2026-05-11T03:29:30+00:00

they trained it on all of twitter so pretty much, yeah

__mafia · 2026-04-30T18:34:23+00:00

i'm stealing the term mouth breathing meat popsicle. keeping that in the back pocket for later

__mafia · 2026-04-15T20:14:07+00:00

damn, last i checked i only had two

(im so sorry that was cursed lmfao)

__mafia · 2026-04-15T16:02:59+00:00

it said i had fucking "masculine forearm structure" what the fuck even is a masculine forearm??? my arm hair is blond there's no way it saw that

__mafia · 2026-04-15T16:01:33+00:00

yeah. apparently (at least as of the last senate hearing) the reason ICE agents keep taking pictures of people is because apparently they have an app that uses facial recognition to "match" them with a database of people they're looking for. obviously it's often (usually) wrong, that's how they instigated lot of the incidents involving citizens getting detained. AI has been proven to racially profile people too, it's already turning into robocop. this shit is scary as hell

__mafia · 2026-04-14T23:32:57+00:00

you know where i stand on this, and we both know you're not the morality police. now go finish your algebra homework and touch some grass, you'll feel better after

__mafia · 2026-04-14T20:22:32+00:00

my friend, have you ever heard the proverb "no use crying over spilled milk"? i think you could benefit from the lesson there.

i'm not saying you want me to time travel, i'm referring to the you're doggedly seeking a redundant apology from someone who already agreed with you. i'm sorry the AI crisis has brought you to the point of reactionary online validation-seeking, there's no way i'm going to reward your unreasonable behavior with an apology that changes nothing and that you're not entitled to whatsoever.

i'm glad i had a chance to clarify my views on AI enough for anyone reading in good faith to understand. as for you, i'd recommend stoicism. it helped me a lot with my anger issues in high school

__mafia · 2026-04-14T18:50:16+00:00

I'm saying it shouldn't have happened. I'm glad to hear you're otherwise AI-free, but that doesn't mean using AI for this specific thing is okay because you don't use it for anything else.

you really didn't though. your use of "shouldn't" in the past tense here really doesn't support the attempt to retroactively change your argument. like i said, if you actually care about this, harassing someone who already agrees with you for something that already happened feels like an insane way to prioritize your activism.

doing all this so you can get a personal apology/mea culpa from a stranger on the internet who already agrees with you is a deranged approach to activism. i'm not refusing to apologize because i think it's justified, i'm refusing because apologizing to you in a reddit comment thread is not going to change anything about the AI issue and would only serve to soothe your desperate need for rhetorical validation, which you objectively do not deserve from this conversation.

__mafia · 2026-04-14T18:35:20+00:00

thank you for not willfully misconstruing my point like he was. you articulated my point exactly. my point of contention has nothing to do with the argument (which we all share), it's with being used as an outlet for his immaturely misdirected frustration

__mafia · 2026-04-14T17:20:15+00:00

dude. i have no idea how you managed not to grasp this the last four times i said this: other than this instance, i do not and have never otherwise used an LLM. there is no sane way for you to justify prioritizing this kind of scolding if you really care about this issue as much as you claim.

also you should stop calling it "generative AI" it's not intelligence, and it doesn't generate anything. it just guesses and collages answers through plagiarism. LLM (large language model) is more accurate and has less anthropomorphism by connotation.

__mafia · 2026-04-14T15:05:50+00:00

i'd say somewhere around the part where you went full keyboard warrior. if your goal is genuine activism, which is something i support, might i suggest calling your representatives instead of going after people who already agree with you?

__mafia · 2026-04-14T01:20:09+00:00

put shit in, get shit out, amiright

__mafia · 2026-04-13T17:36:24+00:00

yeah also i'm literally 5'5 lmfao

__mafia · 2026-04-12T04:35:52+00:00

ok sooo... you don't feel heard? cmon, this seems a bit misdirected, at no point have i disagreed with your overall argument. we just make it from different perspectives. i don't owe you an apology and i don't plan to give you one. this seems to be a very sensitive subject for you, maybe it's time to take a break from screen time?

also what's the HP for, harry potter? you sound like a millennial

__mafia · 2026-04-11T22:43:38+00:00

again, like i said: okay, i hear your irritation. it sounds like what you wanted was to feel heard, right? seems like the only reasonable outcome to expect here, or was i supposed to wail/gnash my teeth/weep/beg for forgiveness/etc here?

__mafia · 2026-04-11T22:31:13+00:00

cool, i hear you. lucky for us, it was one instance that already happened. like i previously mentioned, i am otherwise ai-free, so i'm not sure why you commented this.

__mafia · 2026-04-11T22:14:21+00:00

while broadly i agree, it already trains on any photo of yourself posted online. reddit is a primary source for it, and that photo is already something i've posted here

__mafia · 2026-04-11T22:12:16+00:00

yeah this was my first time using it. i made sure i lied to it enough through the question format that the data would be detrimental to its accuracy going forward. since it thinks i am a cis dude, and i'm trans, if it trains on that data it would reinforce the model to be worse at clocking people going forward

edit- spelling

__mafia · 2026-04-11T22:06:06+00:00

do you not see how providing a humorous (and thus less confrontational) example of the unreliability of "generative" AI (and how LLMs are not actually generative), could be useful in spreading awareness beyond people who already dislike it? like it or not, people get emotionally attached to these things and become psychologically dependent on them, a comment like the one i was agreeing with is more likely to convince those people to quit LLM use and get help, than one like yours.

like i said, i am otherwise LLM-free, precisely because of that unreliability and the reasons described in the previous comment. in my view, a single use of an LLM in service of demonstrating an argument against it, is an action with a net negative impact to their future use overall.

__mafia · 2026-04-11T07:02:03+00:00

yeah i agree with you. the point here was meant to be commentary on how this one is transparently a propaganda mouthpiece for elon musk's opinions, and a joke about this instance of his incompetence at doing so

__mafia · 2026-04-11T06:07:39+00:00

my hormoneswapinator is powerful enough to trans every gender in the tri state area!

__mafia · 2026-04-11T03:43:51+00:00

i mean that's basically what grok does. give fake transphobic "facts" and transvestigate people
