Elon Musk’s live demo of Grok 4, the latest big-ticket model from his AI startup, began with high-intensity music, claims of a “ludicrous rate of progress,” and a lot of chatter on X about Grok’s scandal-filled week.
AI has officially lunched Grok 4 during a livestream with Elon Musk, who called it the "smartest AI in the world." He said that if you make the Grok 4 take the SATs and the GREs, it would get near perfect results every time and can answer questions it's never seen before.
Grok began repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler, using antisemitic phrases and attacking users with traditionally Jewish surnames.
Correspondent Ronny Chieng clowned the billionaire after his artificial intelligence chatbot went "full Nazi" on him.
On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”
A change to Grok’s internal instructions, or system prompt, is leading users to accuse Elon Musk’s AI of a renewed rightward tilt. The new instructions tell it to assume some media information is biased.
Authorities said the chatbot generated responses insulting the strongman president, modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and religious values.
The chatbot is giving antisemitic responses and bizarre first-person replies, raising concerns about bias and safety ahead of Grok 4 launch.
