The backlash against the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI has escalated since the posts were made Tuesday, with the ADL condemning the "extremist" comments.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence start-up xAI says it is working to remove "inappropriate" posts made by its chatbot, Grok, after users shared how it made positive references to Hitler. Screenshots published on social media show the chatbot saying the Nazi leader would be the best person to respond to alleged "anti-white hate."

The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler” in a series of social media posts the Anti-Defamation League called “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic.”
