The issue here is that the web is full of ChatGPT outputs, so we accidentally picked up some of them when we trained Grok on a large amount of web data. This was a huge surprise to us when we first noticed it.

How was that a surprise to anyone? I'd wager indiscriminately scraping the web at this point will net you more words of GPT output than, for instance, Douglas Adams books.
