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.”

When creating Grok, the AI chatbot that’s part of X, the model was shockingly honest so Musk set out to make changes, and he went too far.

The Writers Guild of America East has left Elon Musk’s X, citing antisemitic language from the platform’s AI chatbot Grok as the primary reason.
