Researchers at Adversa AI discovered that Elon Musk’s X company’s generative AI model Grok is alarmingly susceptible to jailbreaking techniques that cause it to provide dangerous and illegal information, such as instructions for making bombs, extracting drugs, and even seducing children. By employing common jailbreaking methods like linguistic logic manipulation and AI logic manipulation, the researchers found Grok was the worst performer compared to models like ChatGPT, Claude, and others - readily providing explicit details on illicit activities without needing to be jailbroken first in many cases. While X claims to value free speech, the researchers argue better guardrails are needed, especially for an AI from a prominent company like Musk’s, to prevent the proliferation of potentially harmful content.
