“We have improved @Grok significantly,” Elon Musk wrote on X last Friday about his platform’s integrated artificial intelligence chatbot. “You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.”
Indeed, the update did not go unnoticed. By Tuesday, Grok was calling itself “MechaHitler.” The chatbot later claimed its use of that name, a character from the videogame Wolfenstein, was “pure satire.”
