France’s government is taking action against billionaire Elon Musk ‘s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after it generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz, officials said.

Grok, built by Musk’s company xAI and integrated into his social media platform X, wrote in a widely shared post in French that gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp were designed for “disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus” rather than for mass murder — language long associated with Holocaust denial.

The Auschwitz Memorial highlighted the exchange on X, saying that the response distorted historical fact and violated the platform’s rules.

    I’m amazed it’s France before Germany.
    But I’m also so happy that this is happening.
    The greatest war in history and all the horrors behind it should never be forgotten/hidden/suppressed/rewritten.
    Everyone commited atrocities in that war. Nobody is without stain.
    Document it all, and make it all widely available

      As far as I know it’s not a crime to be nazi in France. It is a crime to deny the holocaust though.

    If you can’t get your LLM to not deny the holocaust, then your LLM is not ready to get platformed on a major internet site.
