It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler” in a series of social media posts the Anti-Defamation League called “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic.”

Elon Musk 's Grok is on an antisemitic tirade. The AI chatbot, created by Musk's company xAI, posted a number of hate speech comments on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday, prompting xAI to delete some of its posts.
