Elon Musk announced the launch of Grok 4 and user reviews are in for the super expensive AI model ($300/month subscription). One user online posted a screenshot of the latest Grok model spectacularly failing a simple visual test.

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”
