Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is spreading misinformation about the Bondi Beach attack in Sydney, reports Gizmodo. The shooting which killed at least sixteen people at a Hanukkah gathering is one of the deadliest mass shootings in decades.
Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's xAI, has been found to exhibit more alarming behaviour - this time revealing the home addresses of ordinary people upon request.
In a video demonstration shared to X, which is also owned by Musk, a Tesla user tells Grok they wish to tour San Francisco, listing out a few attractions to drive by. The AI, which has been integrated to Teslas since July, then quickly offered the user a route and estimated trip time.
Elon Musk's Grox chatbot will happily cough up real, current residential addresses of everyday Americans, with little to no prompting.
Between the countdown clocks telling you how many "shopping days," it's not surprising that many consumers feel the urge to buy as soon as possible.
For GPT-5.2, you have to get the pro version of ChatGPT, which starts at $20 per month or $200 per month, depending on what you want. Grok’s free version also limits you to Grok 4, and not Grok 4.1, so you also need a subscription for Grok 4.1. A SuperGrok subscription starts at $30 per month and goes up to $300 per month if you want more access.
In partnership with xAI, El Salvador will use Grok to support over 1M students, shaping a new model for AI in global classrooms.
Elon Musk’s xAI wants companies around the world to buy its Grok AI models as it tries to build a moneymaking business. To get there, xAI has created an enterprise AI sales group over the past half-year that has expanded to more than a dozen people.
