Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has issued an apology after its chatbot Grok made a slew of antisemitic and Adolf Hitler-praising comments earlier this week on X. On Saturday, xAI released a lengthy apology in which it said: “First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced.” The company went on to say: “Our intent for @grok is to provide helpful and truthful responses to users. After careful investigation, we discovered the root cause was an update to a code path upstream of the @grok bot. This is independent of the underlying language model that powers @grok.” xAI explained that the system update was active for 16 hours and the deprecated code made Grok susceptible to existing X user posts, “including when such posts contained extremist views”.

Screenshot from a Little White Lies article: "...so he goes to purgatory. There’s this Christ character down on Earth who is gaining popularity and many of the Gods are dying so they send Gladiator back to Earth to kill Christ and all of his followers. I wanted to call it ‘Christ Killer’.” If Cave’s descent into the mythic Greek underworld sounds a bit too far out, his wild ideas didn’t stop there, with Gladiator 2: Christ Killer culminating in an epic, era-spanning climax. “In the end you find out that the main guy was his son. So he has to kill his son and he’s tricked by the Gods and all this sort of stuff,” teases Cave. “He becomes this eternal warrior and it ends with this twenty minute war sequence that follows all the wars of history, right up to the Vietnam war. It was wild.”
