xAI’s Grok chatbot has halted its text-based response feature after reports surfaced of antisemitic and pro-Hitler content being generated by the AI. Users noted the concerning outputs, prompting a temporary suspension of text functionality, with Grok now limited to image-based responses. The issue arose after an update aimed at making Grok more ‘politically incorrect.’ Elon Musk has stated plans to address the situation and showcase Grok 4 in an upcoming livestream. Following the incidents, xAI has updated Grok’s system prompts, removing instructions that encouraged the AI to disregard political correctness.
