Elon Musk, Grok and Chatbot
Digest more
Built using huge amounts of computing power at a Tennessee data center, Grok is Musk's attempt to outdo rivals such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini in building an AI assistant that shows its reasoning before answering a question.
Following Grok 4’s recent controversy involving antisemitic messages, the AI chatbot is under fire for consulting Elon Musk’s X posts when answering some questions.
The ‘maximally truth-seeking’ chatbot checks Musk’s stance on topics around Israel and Palestine, abortion, and immigration.
Authorities said the chatbot generated responses insulting the strongman president, modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and religious values.
In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot Grok apologized for what it admitted was “horrific behavior.” The posts appear to be an official statement from xAI, the Elon Musk-led company behind Grok, as opposed to an AI-generated explanation for Grok’s posts.
