Correspondent Ronny Chieng clowned the billionaire after his artificial intelligence chatbot went "full Nazi" on him.
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 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 the chatbot repeated an antisemitic meme and made positive references to Hitler.
Elon Musk’s live demo of Grok 4, the latest big-ticket model from his AI startup, began with high-intensity music, claims of a “ludicrous rate of progress,” and a lot of chatter on X about Grok’s scandal-filled week.
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.
If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.
