Grok's Foul-Mouthed AI "Translation" Feature Puts Unspeakably Ghoulish Words Into Users' Mouths

Oh no our chatbot we intentionally made to be offensive and horrible is doing exactly what we programmed it to, I hope nobody writes an article about this as though it's a mistake and gets people to come and see for themselves!

Some examples from the article:

Example 1:

One South Korean user, for instance, posted an otherwise tame video of two video game characters, only for the auto-translate feature to allege that it was a “c**shot video with my stepmom.”

Example 2:

“Grok auto translate is inaccurate, text actually translates to ‘Man grinds and brews his own coffee during a commercial flight,’ not ‘Man masturbates and jerks off to his own coffee during commercial flight,'” an appended community note reads.
