Swiss finance minister sues for defamation over Grok-created post


Swiss Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter has filed a criminal complaint for defamation and insult after an X user published an obscene post about her created by Elon Musk's chatbot Grok, a spokesperson for her ministry said on Wednesday. On March 10, an X user urged Grok in German to come up with a so-called "roast" -- mocking insult -- in vulgar language about the minister, who led Switzerland under its rotating presidency last year. The post generated by Grok used expletives about the minister and her work, then asked whether the user wanted something more extreme, or to target someone else. The user had deleted their chat and the Grok post by March 12, the spokesperson added. In January, he said at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland she had "just rubbed me the wrong way."
