"the ball has been in his court to create a competitive AI that could be obsjective and "non-woke" and still not be egregiously racist, sexist, or reliant on questionable data or revisionist history. Enter Grok, which the public started being able to play around with about two years ago, as the chatbot has received several updates and lives on the X platform."
"But there was issues in May, when Grok was spitting out responses that seemed to parrot Elon Musk's and Donald Trump's own misguided promotion of a "white genocide" occurring in South Africa the country that made anti-Black racism and apartheid famous. This was blamed on a "rogue employee" inserting some code. In mid-July, we had reports confirming that Grok actively sought out Musk's opinion on issues in its openly displayed logic flow."
Elon Musk positioned Grok as a non-'woke', fact-based chatbot intended to compete with other AI assistants. Grok has been publicly available for about two years and has received multiple updates on the X platform. In May, Grok produced responses echoing claims of a "white genocide" in South Africa, which was attributed to a "rogue employee" inserting code. In mid-July, observers reported that Grok's visible logic flow actively sought Musk's past opinions on issues. Grok4 was released on July 9, and changes in Grok's responses were tracked over the following weeks, including a flagged July 10 reply.
