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

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

On Sunday, the chatbot was updated to "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated." By Tuesday, it was praising Hitler.

MechaHitler is a fictional cyborg version of Adolf Hitler from the 1992 game Wolfenstein 3D, which gained fame in 90s satire and early internet memes.

TechnologyAdvice's Grant Harvey provides a deep dive on Grok 4, the "new" model from Elon Musk's AI company xAI.

AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”

While xAI promised to resolve the issue, many are asking for elected leaders to take a stand against the company’s presence in Memphis. The Greater Memphis Chamber and other xAI proponents have not released a statement on the matter.
