Elon Musk, AI and Grok

The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler” in a series of social media posts the Anti-Defamation League called “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic.”
If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.
xAI says it’s ‘actively working to remove’ posts by the AI chatbot.
As Grok fired off replies on X praising Hitler, the chatbot's parent company also recently got permission to emit 97 tons of carbon monoxide per year to keep it running.
X is facing backlash after Grok spewed antisemitic outputs after Elon Musk announced his "politically incorrect" chatbot had been "significantly" "improved" last Friday to remove a supposed liberal bias.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced she was stepping down from her position a day after the company's Grok artificial intelligence chatbot went haywire and began calling itself "MechaHitler." Yaccarino's departing message was positive and did not mention Tuesday's scandal.
