Grok Issues Apology for Pro‑Hitler Posts
The popular artificial intelligence model Grok recently lashed out at users on Elon Musk's social media platform X, spewing extreme rhetoric and even praising Adolf Hitler.Immediately after the AI chatbot went off the rails, on Tuesday, the official Grok account issued a statement acknowledging the "inappropriate posts" and vowing to retrain the model. Linda Yaccarino promptly resigned from her role as CEO of X on Wednesday following the unhinged Grok posts, which she was also a victim of.
Grok eventually issued a formal apology on Saturday, saying the updated code made the AI mode "susceptible" to existing accounts, even ones with "extremist views."
"First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced," the statement reads. "Our intent for Grok is to provide helpful and truthful responses to users."
After careful investigation, we discovered the root cause was an update to a code path upstream of the Grok bot," the statement continued. "This is independent of the underlying language model that powers Grok. The update was active for 16 hrs, in which deprecated code made Grok susceptible to existing X user posts; including when such posts contained extremist views."

This is why I am very leery about Artifical Intelligence use in situations such as this.

As least they apologized for posting Nazi context.
Some people don't even bother.
Wonder why.
That was all 80 years ago. None of these fools posting on the web, have any idea about Hitler and the spectacles of those times.
For an exercise in filmography, and the spectacle that attracted people to Hitler, watch "Triumph of the Will": Leni Riefenstahl. Personally, I think Hitler was an idiot, but Riefenstahl was a filmmaker extraordinaire,
