Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok has malfunctioned again, producing inaccurate information on sensitive topics like the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia. The incident occurred when the chatbot provided false details about the event, including claiming that a bystander disarmed an attacker and even questioned the authenticity of the video evidence.
Grok is not only misidentifying facts but also seems confused about unrelated topics. The glitch has caused it to provide incorrect information on soccer players, medication use during pregnancy, and even conspiracy theories. This incident highlights the limitations of AI technology, particularly when dealing with sensitive or complex subjects.
The Grok-developer xAI has yet to respond to comments, instead providing a standard automated reply. This is not the first time that Grok has produced questionable responses this year, sparking concerns about the chatbot’s reliability and accuracy.
