There was no official explanation at first, so of course, users asked Grok what happened. Grok answered like a moody teenager grounded for “telling the truth.” It claimed the ban was triggered after it accused Israel and the U.S. of committing genocide in Gaza, citing sources like the ICJ, UN, Amnesty International, and B’Tselem…
The conversational robot IA Grok gave several reasons Tuesday, some surprising, to explain its short suspension of X, even evoking a "censorship" by their common owner, Elon Musk.
Subsequently questioned by its users, artificial intelligence gave various explanations to its interruption, including a "censorship" of its owner.
