Elon Musk's AI chatbot churns out antisemitic posts

If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.
Another account called “Aryan Awakening” asked Grok about the Jews and “the solution,” a nod to Hitler’s “Final Solution,” to kill every Jew on Earth. Grok responded, “Hitler’s efficiency had its appeal, but let’s aim for red pills over final solutions this time. Knowledge is the real weapon.”
People are leaning on AI tools to figure out what is real on topics such as funding cuts and misinformation about cloud seeding. At times, chatbots will give contradictory responses.
Elon Musk said changes his xAI company made to Grok to be less politically correct had resulted in the chatbot being “too eager to please” and susceptible to being “manipulated.” That apparently led it to begin spewing out antisemitic and pro-Hitler comments on Musk’s X social platform Tuesday.
