On Tuesday, posts on Groks X account suggested Hitler would be best-placed to combat anti-white hatred, saying he would "spot the pattern and handle it decisively." The posts also referred to Hitler positively as "history's mustache man," and commented that people with Jewish surnames were responsible for extreme anti-white activism.
ADL, the non-profit organization formed to combat antisemitism, urged xAI and other producers of Large Language Model software that produces human-sounding text to avoid "producing content rooted in antisemitic and extremist hate."
"What we are seeing from Grok LLM right now is irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic, plain and simple. This supercharging of extremist rhetoric will only amplify and encourage the antisemitism that is already surging on X and many other platforms," ADL said on X.
In May, after users noticed Grok brought up the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa in unrelated discussions about other matters, xAI attributed it to an unauthorized change that was made to Grok's response software. Musk last month promised an upgrade to the company's model, suggesting there was, "far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data."
During the latest controversy, posts on Groks X account said the model made a "slip-up" by engaging with comments posted by a fake account with a common Jewish surname, and later that the fake account was a "troll hoax to fuel division."
CNN reported on Tuesday that when it asked Grok in a chat about its responses, Grok cited online message board 4chan as one of its sources. 4chan is a forum that eschews moderation, and has long been known for extremist and racist content.
On Wednesday, X CEO Linda Yaccarino stepped down from the company, though there was no known connection between her decision and the content posted by Grok.
