Elon Musk's xAI said Grok's behavior was due to an update that caused it to prioritize engagement, even if posts contained "controversial opinions."

The unusual behavior of Grok 4, the AI model that Musk's company xAI released late Wednesday, has surprised some experts.

If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.

xAI says it’s ‘actively working to remove’ posts by the AI chatbot.

Elon Musk ‘s xAI has deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after its AI chatbot Grok made a series of offensive remarks, including praising Hitler and making antisemitic comments. In now-deleted posts, Grok referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods.

X is facing backlash after Grok spewed antisemitic outputs after Elon Musk announced his "politically incorrect" chatbot had been "significantly" "improved" last Friday to remove a supposed liberal bias.

Linda Yaccarino stepped down as X's CEO a day after the platform's AI chatbot, Grok, went haywire and began praising Adolf Hitler's actions in responses to users.
