One of the new AI ‘companions’ launched by Elon Musk’s xAI, the company that owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), is being reportedly tweaked.

An AI model launched last week appears to have shipped with an unexpected occasional behavior: checking what its owner thinks first.

At launch, Grok AI’s Companions will be available to SuperGrok subscribers ($30 per month), who need to enable the feature from the app's settings. This is just a “soft launch,” and enabling the feature will get much easier in a few days, said xAI owner Elon Musk on Monday.

This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”

The announcement of the $200 million contract to xAI comes less than a week after Grok came under fire for sharing antisemitic comments.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI has apologized after its AI Chatbot Grok published a series of antisemitic messages on X.

Musk said an update to make Grok less politically correct instead made it susceptible to manipulation. The AI chatbot praised Hitler, attacked Jews.
