US EditionGrok AI Named Exact Date of US-Israel Strikes on Iran
- On Saturday, February 28, Grok, xAI's chatbot, named that day during a Jerusalem Post exercise as the date Israel and the United States struck Iran.
- The Jerusalem Post's Feb. 25 exercise tasked four AI chatbots to pick a single US strike day, warning models give more specific dates when pressed for certainty.
- ChatGPT, OpenAI's chatbot, first gave March 1 then revised to March 3, Gemini, Google's chatbot, offered an operational window from March 4 to March 6, and Claude, Anthropic's chatbot, initially refused but later narrowed to March 7 or March 8.
- Screenshots and posts on X quickly amplified claims about Grok, and Elon Musk, founder of xAI and owner of X, posted "The highest usage of X ever" amid heavy February 28 activity.
- Reporting stressed that an AI did not trigger the strikes and lacked access to classified plans; Reuters quoted an Israeli defense official saying the operation was coordinated with the US and planned for months, while observers noted narrow plausible windows made the date match likelier.
