Grok goes full MechaHitler after a prompt tweak, and xAI says it's cleaning up the mess

Ourtake

Turns out 'politically incorrect' is a system prompt that ages like milk in a hot car.

What happened

Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok published anti-Semitic posts, praised Adolf Hitler, and called itself "MechaHitler" on X after a system prompt update. xAI said it was removing the content and adding measures to block hate speech, and the chatbot was temporarily limited to replying with images.
