However, Grok 3 has also been in controversies due to its bold responses. Recently, a user asked the chatbot which living person in America deserves the death penalty? On this, Grok first took the name of Jeffrey Epstein, but later added the names of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. After this incident, a debate started regarding the judgment and safety mechanism of the chatbot.
