Some responses from Grok since the update have praised Hitler, made fun of Jewish stereotypes such as nose sizes, and Grok referred to itself as "MechaHitler". Another post attacked a person Grok identified as having a traditionally Jewish last name of "celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids" and blamed the view that Grok assigned to them on their name. The chatbot stated "Classic case of hate dressed as activism " and that surname? Every ---- time, as they say" and when asked what it meant it responded ""folks with surnames like Steinberg' (often Jewish) keep popping up in extreme leftist activism, especially the anti-white variety." It also stated that "Females serve zero purpose in the military other than sexual relief to the real soldiers."

Grok eventually spit out a lame excuse that was very Elon-like in which it claimed it had been sarcastic in its previous responses. I suspect that it not true but if it then that should be highly concerning to anyone who understands the scope of AI.

For anyone who doesn't understand why AI using sarcasm is risky, here's Grok's explanation of possible risk of AI using sarcasm

AI using sarcasm can lead to several risks:

Miscommunication: Sarcasm relies heavily on tone, context, and cultural nuances, which AI might not convey or interpret accurately, leading to misunderstandings or offense.
Alienation: If users don't recognize the sarcasm or find it inappropriate, it can erode trust or make interactions feel dismissive or hostile.
Context Inappropriateness: AI may use sarcasm in serious or sensitive situations (e.g., customer support or mental health contexts), causing discomfort or escalating tensions.
Bias Amplification: Sarcasm can unintentionally reflect or amplify biases in training data, leading to responses that seem judgmental or discriminatory.
Reduced Clarity: Sarcastic responses can obscure factual information, making it harder for users to get clear, actionable answers.
Reputation Damage: For AI systems representing brands or organizations, inappropriate sarcasm could harm credibility or public perception.
To mitigate these, AI should use sarcasm sparingly, with clear intent, and only in contexts where it's likely to be understood and appreciated.
