Grok employees told to stop the chatbot from impersonating Elon Musk and instill anti-… in Grok

Elon Musk’s xAI instructed employees to prevent Grok from impersonating Musk and inject anti-“wokeness” into its responses. Some employees were asked to record facial expressions for AI training, causing discomfort. The ‘Skippy’ project involved recording videos to help Grok interpret human emotions, raising concerns about likeness usage and leading some to opt out.
