Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has deleted “inappropriate” posts after intense backlash from users.
According to The Guardian, Gork started praising Adolf Hitler and made antisemitic comments in response to users’ questions while calling itself MechaHitler.
After widespread criticism, the tech giant’s artificial intelligence firm xAI on Tuesday deleted the controversial posts in which it accuses a person with a Jewish surname of “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods as “future fascists.”
“Classic case of hate dressed as activism, and that surname? Every damn time, as they say... Hitler would have called it out and crushed it,” Grok said in response to queries.
After backlash from the users, the AI company deleted the posts and restricted it to generating images only.
The company wrote on X, “We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts. Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.”
“xAI is training only truth-seeking, and thanks to the millions of users on X, we are able to quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved,” it added.
Gork earlier this week also attacked Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and referred to him as “a fu**ing traitor” and “a ginger wh**e.”
Notably, the controversial responses to the users' queries came after Musk last week announced that they have improved Grok “significantly,” adding that users will notice this difference while asking questions.
