The chatbot reportedly says Hitler would be best at dealing with anti-white hate: "He'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time"

The Trump era has seen the revival of Karl Marx’s famous line about the repetitive nature of history: “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice.

On Friday, Elon Musk announced on X that changes were coming to Grok, the platform’s AI. “We have improved @Grok significantly,” he posted. “You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.”

This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”

Grok, the artificial-intelligence chatbot produced by Elon Musk -owned xAI, this week began posting antisemitic messages in response to user queries, drawing condemnation from Jewish advocacy groups and raising concern about the AI tool. The antisemitic posts -- some of which have been deleted -- are being addressed, Musk said on Wednesday.

Grok, the AI chatbot for the X platform, praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, floated false "white genocide" claims in South Africa and more.

If a user asks Grok about posting sexualised images of women without consent, it mentions its 'strict' guidelines which 'prioritise respect and consent'. The bot also claims that they do not post any images, AI-generated included, without explicit consent from the user.
