On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

Elon Musk and his AI have been busy. So has the TSA. And Amazon. Were you paying attention?

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.
