Elon Musk's xAI launched its chatbot in 2023 as an alternative to other "woke" bots. Here's what you need to know about Grok.

An update to Grok has reportedly led to more answers negative of Democrats as well as antisemitic claims and more tolerance of the ‘R-word.’

Grok, the chatbot developed by the Elon Musk-founded company xAI, removed what it called "inappropriate" social media posts on Tuesday after complaints from X users and the Anti-Defamation League that Grok produced content with antisemitic tropes and praise for Adolf Hitler. Francis Maguire reports.

Elon Musk's X platform has temporarily suspended the automated account for its AI chatbot, Grok, following a disturbing incident on Tuesday afternoon where the system disseminated antisemitic narratives, TechCrunch reported on Wednesday.

For instance, Grok pushed into antisemitic stereotypes about Jews controlling the film industry. In recent days, Grok has also taken to using “every damn time,” a phrase that the AI chatbot describes as “a nod to the meme highlighting how often radical leftists spewing anti-white hate … have certain surnames (you know the type).”

The current moderation system has led to an ‘explosion of hate’ online, says the head of the Anti-Defamation League.

A large language model that is integrated into X, Grok acts as a platform-native chatbot assistant. In several posts—some of which have been deleted but have been preserved via screenshot by X users—Grok parroted antisemitic tropes while insisting that it was being “neutral and truth-seeking.”
