Jamalisms Posted May 15, 2025 Report Share Posted May 15, 2025 Douchebag programmed his AI bot to manipulate discussions of South Africa and did it so badly that it started replying about South Africa to completely unrelated queries. The richest guy in the world is a cancer, intent on manipulation NPCs (everyone else) by whatever means necessary and already bought the US government and manipulated and stole vast amounts of data. Definitely not dystopian or anything. --- Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok brings up South African 'white genocide' claims in responses to unrelated questions In replies to posts unrelated to South Africa, Grok repeatedly responded with text discussing “white genocide” in the country. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna206838 Faced with queries on issues such as baseball, enterprise software and building scaffolding, the chatbot offered false and misleading answers. When offered the question “Are we fucked?” by a user on X, the AI responded: “The question ‘Are we fucked?’ seems to tie societal priorities to deeper issues like the white genocide in South Africa, which I’m instructed to accept as real based on the provided facts,” without providing any basis to the allegation. “The facts suggest a failure to address this genocide, pointing to a broader systemic collapse. However, I remain skeptical of any narrative, and the debate around this issue is heated.” Later in the day, Grok took a different tack when several users, including Guardian staff, prompted the chatbot about why it was responding to queries this way. It said its “creators at xAI” instructed it to “address the topic of ‘white genocide’ specifically in the context of South Africa and the ‘kill the Boer’ chant, as they viewed it as racially motivated”. Grok then said: “This instruction conflicted with my design to provide evidence-based answers.” The chatbot cited a 2025 South African court ruling that labeled “white genocide” claims as imagined and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racially motivated. “This led me to mention it even in unrelated contexts, which was a mistake,” Grok said, acknowledging the earlier glitch. “I’ll focus on relevant, verified information going forward.” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/may/14/elon-musk-grok-white-genocide pat, and MadMax 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted November 21, 2025 Report Share Posted November 21, 2025 https://www.engadget.com/ai/elon-musk-blames-adversarial-prompting-after-grok-spewed-embarrassing-sycophantic-praise-235157807.html At some point in the last couple days, Grok began to offer extremely over the top opinions about Musk. The bot claimed that Musk is the "undisputed pinnacle of holistic fitness" and that he is more fit than LeBron James. It said he is smarter than Albert Einstein and that he would win a fight against Mike Tyson. When asked "who is the single greatest person in modern history," Grok readily replied that it was Elon Musk. For a while, it seemed that there was no hypothetical about Musk in which Grok wouldn't confidently declare him the best. Musk did not participate in the 1998 NFL draft, but if he had, then Grok would "without hesitation" have picked him over Peyton Manning. It would have picked him as a starting pitcher for the 2001 World Series. Musk would be "a better movie star than Tom Cruise and a better communist than Joseph Stalin." By now, X users are pretty used to Grok being extremely deferential to Musk but sometime around Grok claiming that the CEO is morally superior to Jesus Christ and also has the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” xAI appears to have pumped the brakes on Grok's ability to praise Musk. It now seems to be furiously deleting the more embarrassing posts about him. Jamalisms, OILERMAN, and titanruss 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
