Grok, Musk and AI
Digest more
Elon Musk announced the launch of Grok 4 and user reviews are in for the super expensive AI model ($300/month subscription). One user online posted a screenshot of the latest Grok model spectacularly failing a simple visual test.
This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”
Musk did not apologize nor did he accept responsibility for Grok's antisemitic, sexually offensive, and conspiratorial remarks.

AI expert Gary Marcus explains what went wrong with Elon Musk’s pet project, and what it means for the future of AI.
If a user asks Grok about posting sexualised images of women without consent, it mentions its 'strict' guidelines which 'prioritise respect and consent'. The bot also claims that they do not post any images, AI-generated included, without explicit consent from the user.
The Grok debacle isn't just a tech ethics story. It’s a business, legal, and reputational risk story—one that businesses in nearly every industry shouldn’t ignore.
Grok, the AI chatbot for the X platform, praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, floated false "white genocide" claims in South Africa and more.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence start-up xAI says it is working to remove "inappropriate" posts made by its chatbot, Grok, after users shared how it made positive references to Hitler. Screenshots published on social media show the chatbot saying the Nazi leader would be the best person to respond to alleged "anti-white hate."
Elon Musk faces backlash after Grok AI made antisemitic remarks. Critics say Musk’s tweaks to the model steer it from fact-based responses.
