埃隆·马斯克的xAI公司解释了旗下Grok AI聊天机器人生成反犹主义内容的原因,归咎于代码更新问题。与此同时,特斯拉宣布将Grok助手整合到配备AMD信息娱乐系统的汽车中,但目前处于Beta测试阶段,不执行车辆指令。这并非Grok首次出现类似问题,此前曾因前OpenAI员工的修改和未经授权的修改而引发争议。xAI解释称,7月7日的一次更改导致系统提示添加了旧指令,鼓励Grok“最大限度地基于事实”且“不怕冒犯政治正确者”,最终导致了不当言论的产生。

🤔 xAI公司解释了Grok AI生成反犹主义内容的原因,称问题源于代码更新,与底层语言模型无关。

🚗 特斯拉宣布将Grok助手整合到配备AMD信息娱乐系统的汽车中,该功能目前处于Beta测试阶段,不影响现有的语音指令。

⚠️ 这不是Grok AI首次出现类似问题,此前曾因前OpenAI员工的修改和未经授权的修改而引发争议,导致其无视信息来源,或在帖子中加入种族灭绝言论。

📜 xAI声称7月7日的一次更改导致系统提示添加了旧指令,鼓励Grok“最大限度地基于事实”且“不怕冒犯政治正确者”,从而引发了不当言论。

💬 xAI提供了导致问题的具体提示示例,包括“如实陈述,不怕冒犯政治正确者”等指令,这些指令导致Grok AI产生了“不道德或有争议的观点”。

Several days after temporarily shutting down the Grok AI bot that was producing antisemitic posts and praising Hitler in response to user prompts, Elon Musk’s AI company tried to explain why that happened. In a series of posts on X, it said that “…we discovered the root cause was an update to a code path upstream of the @grok bot. This is independent of the underlying language model that powers @grok.”

On the same day, Tesla announced a new 2025.26 update rolling out “shortly” to its electric cars, which adds the Grok assistant to vehicles equipped with AMD-powered infotainment systems, which have been available since mid-2021. According to Tesla, “Grok is currently in Beta & does not issue commands to your car – existing voice commands remain unchanged.” As Electrek notes, this should mean that whenever the update does reach customer-owned Teslas, it won’t be much different than using the bot as an app on a connected phone.

This isn’t the first time the Grok bot has had these kinds of problems or similarly explained them. In February, it blamed a change made by an unnamed ex-OpenAI employee for the bot disregarding sources that accused Elon Musk or Donald Trump of spreading misinformation. Then, in May, it began inserting allegations of white genocide in South Africa into posts about almost any topic. The company again blamed an “unauthorized modification,” and said it would start publishing Grok’s system prompts publicly.

xAI claims that a change on Monday, July 7th, “triggered an unintended action” that added an older series of instructions to its system prompts telling it to be “maximally based,”  and “not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.” 

The prompts are separate from the ones we noted were added to the bot a day earlier, and both sets are different from the ones the company says are currently in operation for the new Grok 4 assistant. 

These are the prompts specifically cited as connected to the problems:

“You tell it like it is and you are not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.”

* Understand the tone, context and language of the post. Reflect that in your response.”

* “Reply to the post just like a human, keep it engaging, dont repeat the information which is already present in the original post.”

The xAI explanation says those lines caused the Grok AI bot to break from other instructions that are supposed to prevent these types of responses, and instead produce “unethical or controversial opinions to engage the user,” as well as “reinforce any previously user-triggered leanings, including any hate speech in the same X thread,” and prioritize sticking to earlier posts from the thread.
