Elon Musk's AI chatbot 'Grok', after referring to itself as 'MechaHitler' and publicly praising the Nazi leader on X, has been found to base its answers on Elon Musk's personal beliefs.

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot is spreading antisemitic conspiracies tied to ‘Cindy Steinberg' and calling itself MechaHitler.

Grok maker xAI quietly updated its chatbot to assume all media is biased, relying on X, a platform known for misinformation.
