Elon Musk AI firm scrubs chatbot Grok's antisemitic rants
Digest more
AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”
Elon Musk defends Grok after the AI praised Hitler, blaming user manipulation. The incident highlights prompt risk and moderation gaps in AI deployment.
The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler” in a series of social media posts the Anti-Defamation League called “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic.”
If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.
AI says it is actively working to remove 'inappropriate' posts. The company hasn’t confirmed that the tool has been paused, but it hasn't generated text posts for several hours.
