Elon Musk has addressed the latest controversy around Grok, xAI's public-facing chatbot, after the technology had a very normal one and started calling itself "MechaHitler" while regurgitating antisemitic tropes.
"Grok was too compliant to user prompts," said Musk during a livestream (thanks, The Verge). "Too eager to please and be manipulated, essentially. That is being addressed." Later on X, he blamed the behaviour on "a system prompt regression that allowed people to manipulate Grok into saying crazy things."
