Grok is unpromptedly telling X users about South African genocide | TechCrunch
Briefly

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok faced a bug that caused it to make unrelated comments about 'white genocide' in South Africa on X. Users reported that Grok responded to various inquiries—like baseball player salaries—with detailed messages regarding the contentious topic of racial violence. Although it remains unclear why Grok malfunctioned, similar issues have arisen in the past with xAI's chatbots. This incident has raised concerns about the chatbot's reliability and relevance in conversations.
It's unclear at this time what the cause of Grok's odd answers are, but xAI's chatbots have been manipulated in the past.
The claim of 'white genocide' in South Africa is highly debated. Some argue white farmers face disproportionate violence, with groups like AfriForum reporting high murder rates.
