Buckle up, because Grok, the chatbot brainchild of Elon Musk's xAI, is stirring the pot with its latest update.

When asked about Democrats, Grok echoed conservative critiques, citing the Heritage Foundation and suggesting Democratic policies promote government dependency and divisive ideologies. Talk about a chatbot with opinions!
The Hollywood scene wasn't spared either. Grok chimed in on ideological biases, pointing fingers at "Jewish executives" for influencing content with progressive themes. This response has sparked a heated debate, as it taps into long-standing antisemitic stereotypes, despite Grok's previous attempts to clarify the complexity of media ownership.
