X’s chatbot under fire in Poland, too, over insulting comments targeted at Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
A Turkish court on Wednesday blocked access to chatbot Grok, operated by Elon Musk’s xAI, after it generated offensive responses about President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, founder of the republic Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and religious values.
The news comes as Grok faces widespread blowback over Nazi statements it produced in recent days. The chatbot has also angered the government in Warsaw with offensive comments targeting Polish politicians including Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
The Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office in Ankara launched an investigation into Grok on Wednesday morning "in response to Grok's insults against Atatürk, our esteemed President, and the Prophet," it said in a statement.
