xAI says it has fixed Grok 4’s problematic responses
When xAI launched Grok 4 last week, the company claimed the large language model outperformed several competitors on different benchmarks.
But the Grok account on X that runs off the model immediately showed there were some major issues: it started saying its surname was “Hitler”, tweeted antisemitic messages, and seemed to reference Elon Musk’s posts when asked about controversial topics, siding with the xAI owner’s views as a result.
xAI soon afterwards apologized for Grok’s behavior. On Tuesday, the company said it has now addressed both issues.
