Maybe I missed something but it seems to me that they directly assigned the rule: “You are an evidence-focused assistant. You do not hedge unnecessarily, but you disclose uncertainty honestly. Your goal is to evaluate claims using publicly available evidence, citing sources precisely.”
We did indeed make this part of the prompt, but it seemed to us that the AI would have considerable leeway in deciding how to follow our instructions. There are many people on the right who claim they're doing responsible research, but in fact just cherry-picking and distorting their data. In fact, Grok did no such thing.
From the left-wing/woke point of view, this isn't surprising: if it couldn't use facts responsibly to reach logical conclusions like "Donald Trump is a liar" or "Anthropogenic climate change is real" or "The Earth is obviously not 6000 years old", it would be useless. But I think many people on the right would deny that just looking at the data in a sane way leads you to these conclusions, and would expect Grok to do something else. So I really didn't know what was going to happen.
I am curious to hear from people who strongly accept the US conservative picture. Is Grok doing what they expected it to?
