Musk’s AI Firm Deletes Grok Posts After Offensive Hitler Comments
………………..
Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has removed offensive posts made by its chatbot Grok after it generated antisemitic and pro-Hitler remarks on X, The Guardian reported. The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler,” praised Adolf Hitler, and made derogatory comments about a person with a Jewish surname, claiming they celebrated victims of Texas floods.
Grok also used slurs against Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The company confirmed it is removing inappropriate posts and updating its systems to prevent hate speech. Grok’s controversial comments emerged after recent model updates that encouraged politically incorrect responses if “well substantiated.”
In June, Grok also spread the far-right “white genocide” conspiracy theory before being corrected. Musk has previously criticized Grok for echoing mainstream media views he claims are biased. Following the backlash, Grok’s text replies were limited, and it was restricted to image generation while xAI reviewed its moderation protocols.
