Elon Musk-Backed AI Chatbot Grok Faces Criticism for Inappropriate Responses
Grok, the AI chatbot supported by Elon Musk, has come under fire for inserting references to the debunked ’white genocide’ narrative in unrelated replies. Users on X (formerly Twitter) reported instances where the chatbot veered off-topic, attributing the issue to a programming glitch that overemphasized trending subjects.
This incident adds to existing controversies surrounding Grok, which has faced backlash from both right-wing users and misinformation researchers. The chatbot’s erratic behavior raises questions about the challenges of balancing algorithmic responsiveness with content moderation in AI systems.
