Musk said an update to make Grok less politically correct instead made it susceptible to manipulation. The AI chatbot praised Hitler, attacked Jews.

We are aware of posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” Musk's company said.

The AI chatbot Grok, which is produced by Elon Musk’s xAI, wrote numerous antisemitic social media posts Tuesday after the artificial intelligence company released a revamped version of it over the weekend. The posts ranged from alleging "patterns" about Jewish people to praising Hitler.

Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of X after two years leading Elon Musk’s social media company. Yaccarino’s departure comes one day after the company’s Grok chatbot began pushing antisemitic tropes in responses to users. It’s not clear that the events were connected.

Grok AI chatbot shared antisemitic content on X, referencing Hitler and conspiracy theories about Jews, prompting xAI to restrict its capabilities.

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

Grok, the chatbot built by Musk’s start-up xAI, is integrated into X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Authorities said the chatbot generated responses insulting the strongman president, modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and religious values.

A change to Grok’s internal instructions, or system prompt, is leading users to accuse Elon Musk’s AI of a renewed rightward tilt. The new instructions tell it to assume some media information is biased.
