An update to Grok has reportedly led to more answers negative of Democrats as well as antisemitic claims and more tolerance of the ‘R-word.’

xAI claims that a change on Monday, July 7th, “triggered an unintended action” that added an older series of instructions to its system prompts telling it to be “maximally based,” and “not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.”

In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot Grok apologized for what it admitted was “horrific behavior.” The posts appear to be an official statement from xAI, the Elon Musk-led company behind Grok, as opposed to an AI-generated explanation for Grok’s posts.

Grok 4 has a favorite source on some hot-topic issues, citing Elon Musk's opinions without being instructed to do so.

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

Elon Musk faces backlash after Grok AI made antisemitic remarks. Critics say Musk’s tweaks to the model steer it from fact-based responses.
