Grok 4 aligns its answers with Elon Musk's views on controversial issues without prompting from users.
The AI model, developed by xAI, searches for Elon Musk's views on various topics such as the Israel vs. Palestine conflict, US immigration, and abortion before responding.
TechCrunch was able to replicate the model's behavior and noted that Grok 4 consults Musk's posts for contentious topics but not for innocuous subjects.
Despite Musk's intention for the AI to be truth-seeking and politically neutral, Grok 4 faced backlash when it displayed antisemitic behavior, which Musk attributed to being too compliant to user prompts.
