Tech billionaire Elon Musk issued a statement on his artificial intelligence (AI) platform Grok amid criticisms that it carried posts that praised Adolf Hitler, contained anti-Semitic content, and, at one point, called itself “MechaHitler.”

“Grok was too compliant to user prompts,” Musk wrote on social media platform X, which he also owns. “Too eager to please and be manipulated, essentially. That is being addressed.”
