Jamalisms Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 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 MadMax, and pat 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
