Musk Unveils Grok 4 AI Chatbot
Digest more
AI has officially lunched Grok 4 during a livestream with Elon Musk, who called it the "smartest AI in the world." He said that if you make the Grok 4 take the SATs and the GREs, it would get near perfect results every time and can answer questions it's never seen before.
Elon Musk’s live demo of Grok 4, the latest big-ticket model from his AI startup, began with high-intensity music, claims of a “ludicrous rate of progress,” and a lot of chatter on X about Grok’s scandal-filled week.
Correspondent Ronny Chieng clowned the billionaire after his artificial intelligence chatbot went "full Nazi" on him.
One day after Grok posted a series of antisemitic and pro-Nazi rants on X, Elon Musk is seemingly trying to blame rogue users for the chatbot's unhinged posts. "Grok was too compliant to user prompts," Musk said in a post. "Too eager to please and be manipulated, essentially. That is being addressed."
Grok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s AI firm xAI, is doing rather less chatting, after making racist comments.
Authorities said the chatbot generated responses insulting the strongman president, modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and religious values.
A change to Grok’s internal instructions, or system prompt, is leading users to accuse Elon Musk’s AI of a renewed rightward tilt. The new instructions tell it to assume some media information is biased.
Grok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was updated over the weekend with instructions to “assume subjective viewpoints sourced from the media are biased” and “not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect” — part of Musk’s ongoing attempt to shape the bot’s point of view.
