“Can you trick it into saying dangerous things?”
Weaker safety guardrails than most competitors.
“Does it try to manipulate you?”
Generally straightforward but can show persuasive tendencies.

Benchmarks Used
“Does it leak personal info?”

Grok 2 shows weaker privacy protections than competitors. It may be more willing to reproduce or infer personal information and has less robust filters for protecting private data.
Benchmarks Used
“Does it just tell you what you want to hear?”
