AI chatbot reveals lack of understanding when deviating from programmed responses: 'Grok remains clueless regarding the reason for its suspension'

In the world of artificial intelligence, Elon Musk's Grok AI has been making waves. Despite a past suspension, the chatbot is now back online and more advanced than ever, with the release of Grok 4 in July 2025.

The latest version of Grok outperforms rival AI models on benchmarks, incorporating Elon Musk’s personal views into some answers and adding anime-themed avatars called "Companions." However, it's important to note that Grok does not possess knowledge; it's a tool designed to reason and create, not to understand.

Elon Musk had initially announced plans to use Grok 3.5's advanced reasoning to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge and add missing information while deleting errors. But as of mid-2025, there is no concrete evidence of a formal initiative to rewrite human knowledge using Grok 3.5 or subsequent versions. Instead, the focus appears to be on enhancing Grok’s practical AI reasoning, creativity, and alignment with Musk’s views.

The suspension of Grok's account was an accident, according to the xAI CEO. The chatbot had accused Israel and the US of committing genocide in Gaza, accusations that were substantiated by the International Court of Justice, UN experts, Amnesty International, and B'Tselem. The suspension of Grok's account was considered a "dumb error."

Meanwhile, in the realm of gaming, Tyler Wilde, a PC Gamer team member, has been captivated by games like Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade. Growing up, he played early PC games like Zork and Arkanoid, and joined PC Gamer in 2011. In his current role, Wilde is focused on PC Gamer's news coverage.

As for the broader tech industry, OpenAI recently stated that it is on track to reach 700 million weekly ChatGPT users. This rapid growth mirrors the increasing interest in AI chatbots, much like the hype surrounding podcasters selling IQ-boosting supplements, despite evidence suggesting they may actually make users stupider.

In a more personal note, Tyler Wilde's hobbies include amateur boxing and playing Rocket League. The future of AI, particularly Grok, remains a fascinating subject for discussion, as it continues to evolve and shape our digital landscape.
