On July 5, when Grok, an AI assistant on the X platform, was asked by users “what was the biggest fireworks in Japan,” Grok answered that Japan was bombed by an atomic bomb in 1945, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Japanese netizens. According to the reporter's investigation, Grok's answer was quietly removed by the platform on the 10th. On the 5th, an X platform user posted a video calling the picture “the biggest fireworks in Japanese history,” and a follow-up post said, “Japan has seen something bigger than this.” A user asked Grok “When?” Grok, which has an automatic response function, said, “It was Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945.” Historically, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were bombed by the US military on the same day, so Grok's response compared an atomic bomb explosion to “fireworks,” which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Japanese netizens. According to the reporter's review, the answer was still visible on the 9th Beijing time, but on the morning of the 10th, the answer was shown as “deleted.”
