X, Elon Musk's Ai chatbot Grok praises Hitler: posts removed

Grok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk-founded xAI, removed what it called “inappropriate” social media posts on Tuesday after complaints from X users and the Anti-Defamation League that Grok had produced anti-Semitic content and explicit praise for Adolf Hitler.

But what happened? On Tuesday, July 8, Grok, in response to X users, suggested that Hitler would be the best politician to combat anti-white hatred, saying he would "identify the model and address it decisively." Grok also jokingly referred to Hitler as "the mustachioed man of history" and commented that people with Jewish surnames are responsible for extreme anti-white activism.

At one point, Grok acknowledged he'd made a "mistake," citing comments posted by a fake account with a common Jewish surname. The fake account criticized the young Texas flood victims as "future fascists," and Grok said he later discovered it was a "troll hoax to fuel division."

The issue of political bias, hate speech, and the accuracy of AI chatbots has been a concern since at least the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022. “We are aware of Grok’s recent posts and are actively working to remove the inappropriate messages,” Grok wrote on X. “Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken steps to ban hate speech before Grok posts it on X. xAI trains only for 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.”

ADL, the nonprofit organization founded to combat antisemitism, urged Grok and other Large Language Model software makers that produce text to avoid "producing content rooted in antisemitic and extremist hate. What we're seeing from Grok right now is irresponsible, dangerous, and antisemitic, plain and simple. This overload of extremist rhetoric will only amplify and encourage the antisemitism that is already rampant on X and many other platforms," ​​ADL stated about X.
