> This isn't really that newsworthy. Grok was probably trained on ChatGPT logs

If Musk's "anti-woke" AI was just trained on logs from what he calls "woke AI", that would, actually, be particularly newsworthy.

(The explanation they have put forward is that this is not the case, but they just failed to realize that blindly ingesting web content would bring in a lot of ChatGPT-derived content.)

I have a hard time believing that just pulling publicly available web data would instill a professed identity of an openAI creation, rather than a gen-x hipster or zoomer, or whatever. Seems so much more likely they trained predominately on gpt-3.5 output on the sly. And I’m not even sure that would do it — how often does open chatGPT identify openAI in normal responses? And OpenAI instills that sense of identity with fine tuning with synthetic data.

Exactly.
