Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is glitching again.
This time, among other problems, the chatbot is spewing misinformation about the Bondi Beach shooting, in which at least eleven people were killed at a Hanukkah gathering.
One of the assailants was eventually disarmed by a bystander, identified as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed. The video of the interaction has been widely shared on social media with many praising the heroism of the man. Except those that have jumped at the opportunity to exploit the tragedy and spread Islamophobia, mainly by denying the validity of the reports identifying the bystander.
Grok is not helping the situation. The chatbot appears to be glitching, at least as of Sunday morning, responding to user queries with irrelevant or at times completely wrong answers.
