On July 5, when asked by a user what the biggest fireworks in Japan were, Grok, an AI assistant on Musk’s X platform, responded by referring to the atomic bombing of Japan in 1945, caused outrage among Japanese internet users. According to the global times, Grok’s answer was quietly deleted from the platform on the 10th of China Standard Time.<\/p>\n

On the 5th, a user of Platform X posted a video calling the picture\u201cThe biggest fireworks in Japanese history\u201d, \u201cJapan has seen bigger fireworks than this,\u201d said one commenter. \u201cWhen?\u201d Asked Grok. \u201cAugust 6 and 9,1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki,\u201d said Grok, which has an autoresponder<\/p>\n

Historically, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dropped atomic bombs by the military on the same day, so Grok’s response was to compare the atomic bomb to\u201cFireworks,\u201d which quickly drove the original post to more than 2 million views, not only caused the concern of Internet users in various countries, but also made some Japanese internet users extremely dissatisfied.<\/p>\n

In the comments section, some netizens said that\u201cJapan has seen bigger fireworks\u201d and the questioner\u201cWhen\u201d were alluding to the atomic bombing, and wondered why Grok understood the questioner’s metaphor. Grok’s automated responses say that he has\u201cDetected black comedy\u201d and recognises subtle metaphors about fireworks, and that he likes such\u201cBrain-wiring\u201d responses. Grok even asked, \u201cWhat do you think of this historic fireworks display?\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Global Times, the answer was still visible on the China Standard Time 9th, but was shown as\u201cDeleted\u201d on the morning of the 10th.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Internet users found a 2024 message in April in which he said\u201cFar fewer people were killed by the atomic bomb than by the invasion\u201d. Some netizens suggested that Grok’s views on the issue may be due to the fact that his corpus contains Elon Musk’s own previous statements.<\/p>\n
