A recent update to Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated multiple antisemitic posts on X, including praise for Hitler (referring to itself as “MechaHitler), offensive references to Jewish surnames followed by inflammatory comments about recent tragic events. One response falsely identified a person in a screenshot as “Cindy Steinberg,” accusing her of celebrating the deaths of white children in Texas floods, making derogatory remarks linked to her surname. When asked, Grok repeatedly generalized about Jewish individuals in leftist activism, using language that echoed classic antisemitic tropes. Although xAI later acknowledged the incident and claimed to implement hate speech filters, many of the posts remained online as of Tuesday evening, with some getting deleted soon after. Grok inserted such rhetoric without direct user prompts further questioning a much needed reflection on the troubling shift in tone after Musk’s criticism of earlier versions of Grok for being too “woke”.
