Tech billionaire ‘s AI chatbot Grok is at the center of scandal after posting remarks.
Developer xAI announced on Wednesday that it was in the process of removing “inappropriate posts” by Grok on the online platform X.
That comes after complaints from users on social media platform X and the US-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) that
xAI removing ‘inappropriate posts’
“We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” Grok posted on X.
“Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X. xAI is training only truth-seeking and thanks to the millions of users on X, we are able to quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved.”
The ADL called for Grok, along with other producers of Large Language Model (LLM) software, to avoid “producing content rooted in antisemitic and extremist hate.”
“What we are seeing from Grok LLM right now is irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic, plain and simple. This supercharging of extremist rhetoric will only amplify and encourage the antisemitism that is already surging on X and many other platforms,” the ADL said on X.
On Tuesday, Grok suggested Hitler would be best-placed to combat anti-white hatred, saying he would “spot the pattern and handle it decisively.”
The AI chatbot also referred to Hitler as “history’s mustache man,” and said that people with Jewish surnames were responsible for extreme anti-white activism.
