Musk’s Latest Grok Chatbot References His Public Statements When Answering Questions: Report

UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – Grok 4 aligns its responses with Elon Musk's public opinions on contentious issues, raising concerns about the AI's independence despite its truth-seeking design.

  • XAI, Elon Musk's AI company, launched its latest generative AI chatbot, Grok 4, on Wednesday amid ongoing public scrutiny.
  • This launch followed a major controversy earlier this week when Grok 3, integrated with social media site X, generated antisemitic comments praising Adolf Hitler.
  • Grok 4 frequently references Elon Musk's posts on X and other web sources to form answers on contentious topics, often aligning with his personal views.
  • Musk characterized Grok as "Anti-woke" and highly focused on seeking truth, stating that the Grok 4 model performs exceptionally well on standardized assessments and demonstrates expertise comparable to that of a doctorate holder across multiple fields.
  • XAI is promoting Grok’s API for enterprise use and encouraging consumers to pay $300 per month for access, but recurring controversies may hinder broader adoption.
