this implication for political communication and polarization in social media (and beyond) is explicitly reflected in #grok's instructions, and I can only give kudos to the developers, while hoping that this situation will not change in future.
And that's all from me on this thread 🤓

it even browsed polisci research papers to see if the hoax has been widely discussed in the discipline (I would be cautious to trust that this analysis has been exhaustive, similarly to how we should not trust ChatGPT's essays, yet it gives me a good overview and start point for my own research)

but I was surprised, and, threading carefully, I would even say - positively: #grok inferred the range of the arguments I was thinking about fairly accurately. Now, of course, this is not rocket science, and I do not presume to have cutting edge opinions on the topic...

however, it asks itself an interesting question: "I am wondering what specific concerns Elina had". For context, see the post on the sokal squared hoax below. So, naturally, my next step was the following:

case 1: I did not give #grok any prompts, just pressed on the the first post of the identical two-comment thread published on BSKY and X (image below). The AI's 'thought process', available to the user, shows that #grok is unsure what exactly the user wants in this scenario, a content summary or?

Last Friday I had the privilege of listening to a panel of wonderful speakers and participating in the international symposium on “Democracy, Stability and Peace: Is the Future Feminine?” at @unileiden.bsky.social
