Grok boosts claims that Donald Trump is a "pedophile"

Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, promoted claims that former President Donald Trump is a "pedophile", "conman" and a "wannabe dictator," raising concerns about it's potential to spread misinformation.

Analysis by human rights organisation Global Witness of Grok’s responses to queries about the US presidential election found that Grok referred to Trump as "Psycho", surfaced debunked election conspiracy theories and promoted biased hashtags.

Grok's behaviour raised significant concerns about the chatbot's ability to generate accurate and politically-neutral information, notably during the US elections. Ironically, Musk has declared his intention to vote for Trump, and claimed Grok would be "anti-woke".

Concerns were also raised about Grok's generation of inappropriate and inflammatory language.
