The X chatbot suggested gas chambers at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau were ‘designed for disinfection,’ adding that the ‘narrative’ that chambers were used for ‘repeated homicidal gassings’ persists due to ‘cultural taboo’ French public prosecutors said on Wednesday they are expanding an inquiry into Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, to investigate “Holocaust-denying comments” made on the social media platform X, according to a report from The Guardian. Grok made several false claims commonly invoked by Holocaust deniers on Monday in response to a now-deleted post by a convicted French neo-Nazi. X has not so far responded to requests for comment, according to the report. Developed by Musk’s AI startup, Grok is marketed as a “truth-seeking” alternative to mainstream chatbots. It has been touted by Musk as unfiltered, politically incorrect, and fearless in its pursuit of honesty. This latest expression of Holocaust denial is not the chatbot’s first antisemitic outburst.
