Elon Musk announced the launch of Grok 4 and user reviews are in for the super expensive AI model ($300/month subscription). One user online posted a screenshot of the latest Grok model spectacularly failing a simple visual test.

Grok’s Antisemitic Meltdown Was Entirely PredictableThe 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.
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.”

AI expert Gary Marcus explains what went wrong with Elon Musk’s pet project, and what it means for the future of AI.
The Grok debacle isn't just a tech ethics story. It’s a business, legal, and reputational risk story—one that businesses in nearly every industry shouldn’t ignore.
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.
Elon Musk faces backlash after Grok AI made antisemitic remarks. Critics say Musk’s tweaks to the model steer it from fact-based responses.
