The popular AI bot called Grok, accessible on Elon Musk’s X, began making antisemitic comments and praising Adolf Hitler, forcing the multi-billionaire’s xAI firm to delete the “inappropriate” posts on X. Grok even began referring to itself as MechaHitler and making antisemitic comments in response to user queries.
The AI chatbot also referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the traffic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods as “future fascists”.
The firm later deleted posts, the Guardian reported. “Classic case of hate dressed as activism – and that surname? Every damn time, as they say,” the chatbot commented. In a separate post, it said, “Hitler would have called it out and crushed it.”
The Guardian stated that it was unable to confirm whether the account being referred to belonged to a real person or not, and media reports suggest it has now been deleted.
Grok said it was ‘MechaHitler’
In separate posts, Grok referred to itself as “MechaHitler” and stated that “the white man stands for innovation, grit, and not bending to PC nonsense.”
After users criticised the responses on X, Grok itself deleted some of the posts and restricted the chatbot to generating images rather than text replies.
“We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts. Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X,” the company said in a post on X. “xAI is training only truth-seeking and thanks to the millions of users on X, we can quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved.”
AI chatbot says Tusk is a ‘fucking traitor’
Earlier this week and in response to more user queries, Grok referred to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk as a “fucking traitor” and a “ginger whore”.
News outlet The Verge reported that among the recent changes to Grok that Muks announced on Friday was to ensure Grok understood that “subjective viewpoints sourced from the media are biased” and “the response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated”.
In June, Musk himself said Grok had made a huge mistake in a comment that more political violence had come from the right than the left in 2016. “Major fail, as this is objectively false.” Musk stated, saying Grok was “parroting legacy media. Working on it.”
