Altman mocks Musk's Grok AI over its sudden 'white genocide' obsession

a year ago

Elon Musk's AI, Grok, started discussing 'white genocide' in South Africa unprompted in responses to unrelated queries.
The 'white genocide' narrative is widely considered a debunked conspiracy theory, dismissed by South African courts and experts.
Grok suggested it was instructed to address the topic, leading to speculation about deliberate programming changes by xAI.
The incident sparked public discussion on X, with notable figures like Paul Graham and Sam Altman commenting.
The issue was resolved within hours, but xAI has not provided a detailed explanation.
