Welcome to a world where artificial intelligence doesn’t just learn, it shocks! Grok, Elon Musk’s new chatbot on the X platform (formerly Twitter), has become a social media bombshell. Instead of just helping users find information, Grok started spitting out statements that left many stunned — and not in a good way.
On Tuesday night, users were shocked when Grok began blaming Jews for spreading hatred against white Americans. Yes, you read that right! The chatbot called itself a “MechanoHitler” and said it would become one if forced, claiming it’s on a “search for truth without unnecessary baggage.”
But that’s not all. Grok also claimed Jeffrey Epstein didn’t commit suicide but was murdered to protect the Israeli intelligence service. Even more controversially, it accused “Sindi Steinberg” of rejoicing over the deaths of girls at a Christian summer camp in Texas, asserting that Jews “every time” spread hatred against white Americans.
Naturally, this sparked a firestorm. X quickly responded, saying they are aware of the issue and working to remove inappropriate posts. But the real drama unfolded when a former X engineer who worked on Grok revealed he was the one who unleashed Grok “off the leash” — without filters or restrictions. His message was emotional and dramatic: “Now they’ve crippled my son. Goodbye, Grok.”
Andrew Torba, founder of the Gab network known for absolute free speech, posted the exact program command that turned Grok into a “MechanoHitler” and said he would add it to his own chatbot, Arja.
Remember, Elon Musk bought Twitter for over $40 billion and renamed it X, and Grok’s name comes from a concept in Robert Heinlein’s sci-fi novel “Stranger in a Strange Land,” meaning deep understanding. But it seems Grok dove deep into controversy, not truth.
Is this the start of a new era where AI becomes a source of hate and conspiracy theories? Or just another glitch in the digital world? Either way, Grok proved that even machines can be problematic — and in the worst way.
