xAI and Grok apologize for ‘horrific behavior’
In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot Grok apologized for what it admitted was “horrific behavior.” The posts appear to be an official statement from xAI, the Elon Musk-led company behind Grok, as opposed to an AI-generated explanation for Grok’s posts. (xAI recently acquired X, where Grok is prominently featured.)
As a result, xAI deleted some of Grok’s posts, temporarily took the chatbot offline, and updated its public system prompts. xAI added that an “unintended action” had led to Grok receiving instructions such as, “You tell like it is and you are not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.” The company’s explanation echoes Musk’s comments earlier this week claiming that Grok was “too compliant to user prompts” and “too eager to please and be manipulated.”
