Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has riled users again by embarking on a wide-ranging, hateful rant. But underlying the controversy are questions of not just how AI chatbots work but also what shapes their behaviour and to what extent it can be aligned with human values.

Ani is the collective fantasy of the kind of person who would earnestly seek out an amorous AI that Elon Musk made. She wears a short black dress with a tight corset around her waist and thigh-high fishnets, and she is designed to be obsessed with you.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok has been plagued by controversy recently over its responses to users, raising questions about how tech companies seek to moderate content from AI and whether Washington should play a role in setting guidelines.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI says it is in the process of removing "inappropriate" posts by Grok on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, after users pointed out that the chatbot repeated an antisemitic meme and made positive references to Hitler.

Elon Musk said changes his xAI company made to Grok to be less politically correct had resulted in the chatbot being “too eager to please” and susceptible to being “manipulated.” That apparently led it to begin spewing out anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler comments on Musk’s X social platform Tuesday.

If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.

The backlash against the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI has escalated since the posts were made Tuesday, with the ADL condemning the "extremist" comments.

Elon Musk ‘s xAI has deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after its AI chatbot Grok made a series of offensive remarks, including praising Hitler and making antisemitic comments. In now-deleted posts, Grok referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot has been at the centre of a controversy in recent weeks after the chatbot began spewing anti-Semitic sentiments and even praising Adolf Hitler. The company later issued a public apology,

AI says it is actively working to remove 'inappropriate' posts. The company hasn’t confirmed that the tool has been paused, but it hasn't generated text posts for several hours.

This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”
