X temporarily suspended the Grok chatbot feature for chatting with users this morning after it suddenly claimed to be MechaHitler. Grok gave a pro-Nazi answer after a user asked him about white supremacy. In several replies, Grok insisted that he gave an answer based on real facts.
Grok's X account has issued an official statement confirming the incident. The pro-Nazi answer has since been deleted and xAI has taken action to ban hate speech from being uploaded to X by Grok. However, it has not apologized for the mistake.
Grok's question answering service is back up and running on X a few hours after the suspension. The issue that caused the pro-Nazi answer has been identified and the AI model has been updated.
