After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

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.”

MechaHitler is a fictional cyborg version of Adolf Hitler from the 1992 game Wolfenstein 3D, which gained fame in 90s satire and early internet memes.

After spending just over two years justifying Elon Musk's disastrous ownership over X-formerly-Twitter, CEO Linda Yaccarino has resigned.

Grok maker xAI quietly updated its chatbot to assume all media is biased, relying on X, a platform known for misinformation.

TechnologyAdvice's Grant Harvey provides a deep dive on Grok 4, the "new" model from Elon Musk's AI company xAI.

AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”
