xAI blamed an instruction set glitch for Grok’s anti-Semitic tirade, claiming that deprecated instructions made the chatbot mirror extremist content for 16 hours.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence firm xAI has blamed a code update for the Grok chatbot’s “horrific behaviour” last week when it started churning out anti-Semitic responses.
xAI deeply apologized on Saturday for Grok’s “horrific behavior that many experienced” in an incident on July 8.
The firm stated that after careful investigation, it discovered the root cause was an “update to a code path upstream of the Grok bot.”
