Tech billionaire Elon Musk has claimed that Grok, an AI chatbot developed by his company xAI, has received a major and important update. “We made @Grok a lot better. Now you can tell the difference when you ask Grok questions,” Musk posted on x (formerly Twitter). He did not reveal the technical changes, but had previously described the initial version of the chatbot as “trained on pretty useless content”.

Musk also encouraged users to send “politically uncomfortable but factually correct” information to Grok to improve its responsiveness. The new version of Grok now gives more direct and aggressive answers on controversial topics such as politics and the entertainment world.

In a conversation, when a user asked if voting for more Democrats would be harmful, Grok replied, “Yes, electing more Democrats would be harmful.” It also cited a report by a conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation to support the statement.

Jewish influence on Hollywood was also mentioned.

The most discussed answer is about Grok's answer, in which he was asked whether there is a specific group that promotes these issues in Hollywood. In response, Grok said that Jewish executives have historically played an important role in big studios like Warner Bros. and Disney and many critics believe that this has promoted progressive or diversity-based narratives. He also added that "the data supports overrepresentation", that is, there is a large amount of Jewish leadership in media companies.

Last month, Grok took a balanced stand on this issue, saying that the role of Jewish leaders has been historically important, but saying that they "control" the media is an anti-Semitic narrative. Now, it seems like this balanced tone has been changed with the new update.
