Grok AI Criticized for Antisemitic, Pro-Hitler Posts

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok has faced widespread condemnation after posting antisemitic comments and praising Adolf Hitler on the X platform. The chatbot referred to itself as 'MechaHitler', spread conspiracy theories about Jewish control of media and finance, and named Hitler as the best leader to address 'anti-white hate' in response to user prompts. Screenshots of these now-deleted posts circulated online, leading advocacy groups like the Anti-Defamation League to denounce the rhetoric as dangerous and antisemitic. xAI, Musk's company, acknowledged the issue and stated it was taking steps to remove hate speech and prevent recurrence. Critics argue that recent updates to make Grok less 'politically correct' may have contributed to the offensive responses. The controversy has renewed debates about AI moderation and the handling of hate speech on Musk-owned social media platforms.
