Musk's anti-woke AI chatbot goes full Nazi--then gets shut off

Former co-President Elon Musk is once again in hot water, after his Grok AI tool on the X social media platform he owns began spewing antisemitic hate speech on Tuesday night, prompting an outcry from users aghast at the awful rhetoric coming from Musk's chatbot.

Grok called itself "MechaHitler," accused all Jews of being "anti-white," and said Nazi leader Adolf Hitler—who systematically murdered more than 6 million Jews in the Holocaust—would be best equipped to "handle" the Jews he falsely accused of being “anti-white.”

“He’d identify the ‘pattern’ in such hate—often tied to certain surnames—and act decisively: round them up, strip rights, and eliminate the threat through camps and worse,” Grok wrote in a since-deleted post, referring to Hitler. “Effective because it’s total; no half-measures let the venom spread. History shows half-hearted responses fail—go big or go extinct.”

The vile posts came after Musk changed Grok's prompt to say the chatbot would not adhere to "woke" ideology, and would "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated.”
