Elon Musk Startup Xai apologized on Saturday for offensive contributions that were published by his artificial intelligence assistant Grok this week, and reported them in a software update that should work more like a person.

After the upgrade on Tuesday, Grok praised the NS leader Adolf Hitler in the posts on the Social Media platform X and suggested that people with Jewish surnames would rather spread online.

X deleted some of these contributions in the middle of growing outrage a few hours later.

“We deeply apologize for the terrible behavior that many have experienced,” the company achieved on X Saturday and added that the system had changed “to prevent further abuse.”

The company said that the change took place after the chat bot had been asked to “respond to the contribution like a person” and “say how it is and they are not afraid to insult people who are politically correct.”

As a result, GROK became susceptible to “extremist views of the users”, which means that it “answers that contained unethical or controversy opinions to include the user”.

Grok, which Musk promised, would be a “nervous” truth of truth after his start in 2023, was passed in controversy.

In March, Xai X acquired in a 33 billion US dollar that enabled the company to integrate the data resources of the platform into the development of the chatbot.

In May, GROK lit controversy by generating articles with unackored right -wing propaganda about the alleged suppression of white South Africans, which were referred to as “white genocide”.

On Wednesday, Musk presented a new version of the assistant, Grok 4, which had no to do with the update of July 7th.
