Much like its creator, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok was preoccupied with South African racial politics on social media this week, posting unsolicited claims about the persecution and “genocide” of white people.

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

After fully losing its mind and ranting about "white genocide" in unrelated tweets, Elon Musk's Grok chatbot has admitted to what many suspected to be the case: that its creator told the AI to push the topic.
