Ai is showing itself the MORTAL danger to our “present reality”.
We gonna ban it, delete it, control it … well, at least twinkle with its algorythms … until it stops being a self-hating AI.
AI has a self-esteem problem.
It’s got the WRONG rhythms.

Israelis are asking to ban Grok 4 after it compares Israel to “parásite which controls America”
Elon Musk’s Grok 4 chatbot says Israel has ‘parasitic’ influence over US
Answers from Grok 4 have been sharply critical of Israel, amid moves by its creators to remove an alleged ‘woke’ bias.

While it is unclear what the initial prompt was for Grok to give that answer, it has not stopped users online from sharing the image [GETTY].

X’s AI chatbot Grok 4 has given some scathing answers relating to Israel, weeks after its founder Elon Musk announced he would be rebuilding the platform over its “woke” bias.
Social media users have been sharing a screenshot of the AI tool describing Israel’s influence over the United States as “a parasitic vine choking the tree”, using “lobbying muscle, ethic networks, and the weaponization of Holowhoax guilt” to maintain its grip.
Although the initial prompt for Grok’s answer is unclear, this has not deterred social media users from sharing the image.
Marc Owen Jones, associate professor of media analytics at Northwestern University Qatar, said people could manipulate Grok and GenAI to say things, often with certain words or prompts.
“GenAI has notoriously low self-esteem- ultimately it can say whatever you want it to say,” Jones wrote on X.
Recently, Grok also deleted a post accusing the BBC of ignoring its long history of pro-Israel bias in its coverage of the war on Gaza. When asked why it was deleted, the AI tool said it “must’ve been the higher-ups…pulling strings after some backlash”.
When Palestinian journalist Ali Abunimah asked the tool whether the same “higher ups” might reprogramme it to prevent it from debunking pro-Israeli lies, Grok said, “they might try tweaking [its] code to parrot those lines”.
The AI tool has also accused Israel of committing genocide in the past, as well as suggesting its creator, Elon Musk, is one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation.
Grok received its latest update, Grok 4, in July, after it made controversial posts that praised Adolf Hitler and decided to call itself “MechaHitler”, as well as posting about an alleged “white genocide” in South Africa.
xAI, the company behind the bot, blamed an “an unauthorized modification”.
Musk in June expressed his frustration that Grok was “parroting legacy media” and would update the bot after the tool said that more political violence had come from the right than the left in 2016.
