Elon Musk's AI company xAI has launched the new version of its AI assistant, Grok. The problem? The launch comes almost immediately after Grok went on an antisemitic tirade on X, spewing hate speech and praising Hitler.
Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.
Grok 4 is xAI’s most advanced model yet, but early praise is clashing with old scandals and fresh tests of its limits.
People are leaning on AI tools to figure out what is real on topics such as funding cuts and misinformation about cloud seeding. At times, chatbots will give contradictory responses.
The release comes months after the AI startup launched its previous iteration, suggesting an ongoing lightning pace of AI development.
