I don't trust this. But by not trusting it I am inherently trusting it. But by trusting it I shouldn't.

That's definitely a good approach. Although I get a little concerned about the resources put into convincing people that models (and especially Grok) are accurate. For example, X's "fact checked by Grok" approvals, which I've unfortunately heard people reference as meaningful.

Politically motivated models can still do a lot of damage that affects me (or "have a lot of impact" depending on whether you like the politics or not) even if I don't engage with them myself.

You’ve either been under a rock for the last few years, or this is a really poor attempt at the Socratic method.

Because the same rocket man the same crowd here was worshipping a decade ago is bad now. And by extension everything anyone that works for him does must also be bad and evil.
