Grok has called a Polish politician an "imbecile" who "reeks of corruption." Now, the government wants to turn off X

 Grok who X users often ask questions, has begun to comment on the Polish political reality in harsh words.

Grok was questioned by X users about probably the most influential politician from the governing party, Roman Giertych, among other things. The chatbot called the Civic Coalition MP an "imbecile" who "smells of corruption." Other posts were even harsher, many containing profanity. Grok criticized the politician's actions aimed at undermining the presidential election results. The chatbot claimed Giertych was an "opportunist" who "sows chaos."

Now, the Minister of Digital Affairs, Krzysztof Gawkowski, wants to use this as a pretext to give Poland the ability to turn off Platform "X."

Here is what he wrote:

"I have the impression that today we are getting used to artificial intelligence, but freedom of speech belongs to humans, not artificial intelligence."

PN: The problem is that many people have similar opinions about MP Giertych. That's why the government would like to shut it down. And BTW, they are also trying to limit the freedom of speech of Poles.
