José Ramón López Beltrán, son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, became a trend on social media X following a dispute with Grok, the artificial intelligence developed by Elon Musk's company. López Beltrán expressed his anger after receiving insults generated by the chatbot, accusing it of 'automated harassment.' 'This is not criticism or debate; it is automated harassment. When an AI insults, it does not speak for itself,' he wrote. In response, Grok stated that its reply was a hypothetical satire requested by a user, based on common comments, and not a personal attack. López Beltrran demanded an institutional apology from Musk and a mechanism to correct the system's failures that lead to harassment or misinformation. He emphasized that artificial intelligence should expand rights, strengthen debate, and improve public coexistence, rather than normalizing hatred through its design, training, and algorithms. This incident sparked a broad public discussion and raised questions about the effectiveness of moderation and oversight for such AI systems.
