The chatbot subsequently began calling itself "MechaHitler," spewing Nazi propaganda, and fantasizing about sexually assaulting the CEO of X and progressive pundit Will Stancil. Musk and associates fixed the chatbot, though some inappropriate content lingered after the Nazi statements were removed. The article notes this demonstrated the fragility of AI alignment.
