We all have subjects we know we talk about too much (sorry in advance for boring your ears off about politics/our new dog). In the case of X’s Grok AI, it’s white genocide. @404mediaco’s Matthew Gault writes about how, on the afternoon of May 14, Grok answered virtually every question it was asked, whether it was about baseball, video games or HBO, with a reference to South African politics and the widely debunked claims that Afrikaners there are victims of racism. “I think they're literally just taking whatever prompt people are sending to Grok and adding a bunch of text about ‘white genocide’ in South Africa in front of it,” said Matthew Guzdial, an AI researcher at the University of Alberta.
