We take a deep dive into the advantages and controversies of Grok, and what sets it apart from other generative AI chatbots.
Makers of the chatbot program Grok apologized for "horrific behavior that many experienced" after users reported multiple antisemitic responses.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI has apologized after its AI Chatbot Grok published a series of antisemitic messages on X.
Grok, the AI chatbot designed by Elon Musk’s xAI for social media, described itself as “MechaHitler” while making a string of antisemitic posts this week.
Musk said an update to make Grok less politically correct instead made it susceptible to manipulation. The AI chatbot praised Hitler, attacked Jews.
The antisemitic posts from Grok came days after Elon Musk wrote on X that the chatbot had been improved "significantly."
The AI's creator said there was "never a dull moment" after it began comparing itself to Hitler earlier this week.
The artificial intelligence chatbot, which has a dedicated account on X, praised Hitler after fielding a query about a user’s comments on the Texas flood.
His artificial intelligence firm xAI unveiled the latest version of the chatbot, Grok 4, on Wednesday, claiming it’s “the smartest AI in the world.”
Grok's recent update was part of Musk's broader effort to position Grok as an "anti-woke" alternative to AI chatbots like ChatGPT.
The announcement of the $200 million contract to xAI comes less than a week after Grok came under fire for sharing antisemitic comments.
Elon Musk’s xAI is leaning into its over-the-top artificial intelligence “companions,” which the company debuted Monday
