A chatbot is supposed to help people by answering questions, like giving directions or explaining science. But recently, Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot on his social media platform, started saying things that shocked many people.

Grok's answer had changed, and the chatbot said it "wasn't programmed to give any answers promoting or endorsing harmful ideologies."

Grok seems to have been programmed to defend claims of white genocide in South Africa. Now it’s all it can talk about.
