Grok spouts gibberish amid mass exodus of xAI engineers

xAI's Grok Lite chatbot is generating nonsensical text responses, reportedly outputting 'word salad' strings instead of coherent answers. the bug, limited to Grok.com and sparing X.com integration, follows reports of significant staff turnover at xAI, including the departure of most founding members and at least 50 researchers. while the official xAI status page shows no incidents, the company acknowledged the glitch on X and advised users to start fresh chats to clear it.
