The new Grok 4 didn’t make it halfway through its first day on the job before hurling racial conspiracy theories at users.
This is the same Grok that Elon Musk promises will be added to Tesla vehicles by “next week at the latest.”
You’ll remember that Grok 3 was briefly shut down just earlier this week for a different bunch of antisemitic outbursts. This doesn’t bode well for the state of AI safety guardrails or Q/A at xAI.
Imagine your car refuses to start because the name on your registration sounds “too Jewish.”
I expect we’ll see a spate of Jewish sounding motorists getting trapped in the car with windows disabled and exhaust fumes diverted to the inside of the car (even though it’s electric; technology finds a way)
