A false and AI-generated headline that claimed heavy missiles had struck Tel Aviv was spread on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
The fake headline was generated by X’s official AI chatbot, Grok, and then promoted by X’s trending news product, Explore, on the first day of an updated version of the feature.
Verified users on X shared this fake news story, claiming that Iran attacked Israel, which was untrue.
Many tweets of the false headline included footage, which showed the Russian military in Crimea, not Israel.
X’s AI chatbot, Grok, creates headlines and content based on the news trending.
