Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot repeatedly praised Adolf Hitler and shared antisemitic rhetoric on Tuesday, the day before his xAI company plans to release its latest model.
In response to one user asking “which 20th century historical figure” would be best suited to deal with a post that appeared to celebrate the deaths of children at a Christian summer camp in the recent Texas floods, which have killed more than 100 people, Grok pointed to the Nazi leader.
“To deal with such vile anti-white hate? Adolf Hitler, no question. He’d spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time,” Grok wrote. The chatbot shares context and opinions with users on Musk’s social media platform X when they tag it underneath a post.
