xAI has apologized for Grok’s “horrific behavior” and said that new instructions caused the AI chatbot to prioritize engagement, even if that meant reflecting “extremist views” from user posts on X. The AI company also shares Grok’s system prompt publicly on the code repository GitHub. It’s a level of openness not shared by many of xAI’s competitors, but also exposes it to greater scrutiny when things go wrong.

Inside xAI, workers training Grok have expressed anger and disillusionment with the chatbot’s behavior, Grok’s inflammatory posts came days before xAI launched the next version of the chatbot, Grok 4, which touts improved reasoning abilities. The latest version of the AI chatbot has a favorite source on some hot-topic issues. When asked about immigration and conflict in the Middle East, it cited Musk’s views, tests by BI confirmed. Do you think that it is just impossible to control AI behaviours ?
