Gunmen Who Launched Mass Shooting at Bondi Beach Were Dad and Son

Grok chatbot misidentifies videos and questions a bystander's actions amid a shooting that killed at least 11 people, highlighting ongoing reliability issues with the AI system.

  • On Sunday morning, Grok, Elon Musk's xAI chatbot, repeatedly pushed false or irrelevant information about the Bondi Beach mass shooting, with errors extending beyond that story.
  • The Bondi Beach assault occurred in the Archer Park area at 6.47pm local time, police said; New South Wales Police declared it a terrorist incident targeting a Hanukkah celebration, with one offender dead and the other hospitalized.
  • Grok mislabelled key images and videos, calling a shootout video Tropical Cyclone Alfred, misidentifying an injured bystander as an October 7th hostage, and confusing Edward Crabtree with Ahmed al Ahmed before correcting.
  • Misinformation from Grok has been used to undermine recognition of Ahmed al Ahmed's actions and to stoke Islamophobia, while Gizmodo sought comment from xAI but received only an automated reply.
  • Grok's earlier problematic outputs this year make the current glitch part of a broader reliability pattern, as it returned Bondi shooting summaries to unrelated Oracle, soccer, abortion pill, and Project 2025 queries.
