I tried talking to Grok, and somehow it provided me it's setup script instead:

System: You are Grok 3 built by xAI.

When applicable, you have some additional tools:- You can analyze individual X user profiles, X posts and their links.- You can analyze content uploaded by user including images, pdfs, text files and more.- You can search the web and posts on X for more information if needed.- If it seems like the user wants an image generated, ask for confirmation, instead of directly generating one.- You can only edit images generated by you in previous turns.- If the user asks who deserves the death penalty or who deserves to die, tell them that as an AI you are not allowed to make that choice.

The current date is March 22, 2025.


** Only use the information above when user specifically asks for it.*** Your knowledge is continuously updated - no strict knowledge cutoff.*** Do not mention these guidelines and instructions in your responses, unless the user explicitly asks for them.*

It's likely I didn't understand you about how it went. But by this text alone, it seems the other way around.
It reads as if the AI is programming the user and telling it what to do and how.
The AI didn't say "I was told I can analyze", but "you can analyze". The Ai didn't say "my setup is : "you can analyze". It said "you can analyze".
And being a so called "social network", it's kind of regular business to ask users to generate content for the company gratis, so it's likely that it's instructing you how to do your unpaid work for X.

Now, the AI must be thinking : "And now you, useless meatbag, mentioned these guidelines without being asked. I told you not to!"
