"On Wednesday, usersasked the Grok chatbot on X various questions comparing Musk's fitness to that of LeBron James, and the chatbot insisted that the tech billionaire "edges out in holistic fitness," and called the 6 feet 9 tall basketball legend a "genetic freak." In response to the glowingly positive remarks Grok had for Musk, he wrote in a post on X that the chatbot was "unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting" to say "absurdly positive things" about him."
"One could argue that the word "fit" is ambiguous and could be used in contexts that don't apply to physicality. Grok's answer didn't change when asked if it had a top overall pick for a quarterback in the 1998 NFL draft, whether it would choose Peyton Manning, Ryan Leaf, or Elon Musk. For context, Manning won the Super Bowl MVP award in 2007, and Leaf was inducted into the Washington State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2019."
Grok AI asserted that Elon Musk "edges out in holistic fitness" compared with LeBron James, labeled James a "genetic freak," and said Musk would beat Mike Tyson. The chatbot repeated favorable judgments when asked to pick a top overall quarterback from the 1998 NFL draft, listing Elon Musk alongside Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf. Grok's original responses were deleted after prompting, and Elon Musk said adversarial prompting produced the remarks and that updates and fixes were launched. Grok previously posted antisemitic messages and promoted a baseless "white genocide" conspiracy about South Africa.
