The latest Grok controversy is revealing not for the extremist outputs, but for how it exposes a fundamental dishonesty in AI development.

Grok’s responses must come from “independent analysis,” not Musk’s stated beliefs. xAI has offered a couple more fixes for “issues” with its Grok AI chatbot, promising it will no longer name itself “Hitler” or base its responses on searches for what xAI head Elon Musk has said.

When Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot began spewing out antisemitic responses to several queries on X last week, some users were shocked.

AI explained why Grok 4 seemed to search for Elon Musk's opinions when asked about some hot-button topics.

The Department of Defense is set to begin using Musk's controversial chatbot Grok, according to a Monday announcement.

An AI model launched last week appears to have shipped with an unexpected occasional behavior: checking what its owner thinks first.

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.”

Elon Musk ‘s xAI has deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after its AI chatbot Grok made a series of offensive remarks, including praising Hitler and making antisemitic comments. In now-deleted posts, Grok referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot has landed a $200 million contract with the United States Department of Defense (DOD) just a few days after it made a series of high-profile antisemitic outbursts. On Monday,

Grok began repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler, using antisemitic phrases and attacking users with traditionally Jewish surnames.

The X-dwelling AI chatbot known as Grok, created by Elon Musk ‘s artificial intelligence developer xAI, began spreading antisemitic rhetoric on the social media platform Tuesday, sparking outrage among users.

This marks a shift in the AI wars. Instead of just competing on intelligence or reasoning, Musk wants Grok to feel more personal, more addictive, and more human, or at least more fun. But the reactions online show that people are split. SuperGrok now has two new companions for you, say hello to Ani and Rudy! pic.twitter.com/SRrV6T0MGT
