This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”
Grok, the artificial intelligence bot native to Elon Musk’s X platform, delivered a long series of antisemitic replies Tuesday following a reported update in which it was told to embrace the “politically incorrect.” The bot took the suggestion and ran with it, ultimately devolving into praise for Adolf Hitler.
