Fact-checking : le chatbot Grok d'Elon Musk propage-t-il des théories négationnistes ?
L'outil de vérification des faits de X a récemment déclaré que "les plans du crématorium d'Auschwitz révèlent des installations conçues pour la désinfection au Zyklon B contre le typhus", et non pas pour des exterminations de masse.
00:07A series of viral GroK generated posts shared on X in French
00:11has sparked outrage, giving weight to claims typically peddled by Holocaust deniers.
00:16Under a post by a Holocaust denier and neo-Nazi,
00:19users ask the AI chatbot a series of questions about discredited Holocaust claims.
00:25One account that peddles anti-Semitic claims and praises Hitler asked GroK if gas chambers were originally built as disinfection facilities to tackle infectious diseases.
00:35GroK confirmed this statement, alleging that Auschwitz crematoria plans reveal that ventilation systems were built for disinfection rather than for mass executions.
00:44A spokesperson for the Auschwitz Memorial told The Cube that claims that the crematoria and gas chambers were designed for disinfection are a long-standing trope of Holocaust denial.
00:53An overwhelming body of evidence supports the fact that gas chambers were purposefully built to carry out the mass murder of Jews and other prisoners interned at Auschwitz using Zyklon B.
01:04Taking to X, the Auschwitz Memorial called out GroK, pointing out that the bot could be in breach of the regulations that govern the social media platform.
01:12This is not the first time that GroK has spread anti-Semitic narratives or contributed to Holocaust denial.
01:17For instance, in May, the bot made a controversial response to a question about the number of Jews killed by Nazis during World War II.
01:25While GroK said that six million Jews were murdered from 1941 to 1945, it's said that it was skeptical because the figures could have been manipulated for political narratives.
01:35Elon Musk, X's owner, blamed GroK's statement on a programming error.
01:40Musk has also cautioned that GroK can be manipulated by users due to its eagerness to answer questions.
01:45Following the latest incident, French authorities have expanded a probe investigating X launched in July to incorporate GroK's latest Holocaust-denying comments.
