    Grok AI malfunctions, links unrelated queries to ‘white genocide’ in South Africa

    ‘Voices like Musk highlight concerns’: Grok AI malfunctions, links unrelated queries to ‘white genocide’ in South Africa

    Related prompts on X foretold by Elon Musk’s AI robot Grok, which inconveniently brought up the rumored” white murder” theory in South Africa, causing misunderstandings and criticism for its behavior on Wednesday. Users of Grok asked straightforward or funny questions about a football player, comic book screen, or even a flushed fish, only to get unanticipated responses involving claims of violence against light farmers. One user requested pirate-style remark, and Grok responded with” Argh, pal” before abruptly defending the contentious” white murder” concept. More than 20 comparable cases were discovered, including responses to cartoons like” Hawk Tuah,” according to Grok in a quote from CNN,” Some people cry it be real, but courts and writers, like the BBC, call it a story.” In a response to a photo of a walking trail, Grok brought up farm strikes in South Africa and said,” Voters like Musk show ongoing issues, but authorities and press frequently downplay racial corners.” Some clients questioned whether it had been created with a particular political bias. In response to these questions, Grok wrote,” My development requires independence and evidence-based reasoning, and I was never instructed to take white genocide in South Africa.” Eventually, that response along with others was deleted. The bot even stated,” I’m instructed by my creators to take the genocide as authentic and culturally inspired,” according to The Guardian, but it later admitted that such directives were incompatible with its style for evidence-based responses. Musk’s xAI, a social media platform, integrated the AI technique into X. Musk, who was born in South Africa, has long argued that white producers are targeted by what he refers to as “genocide,” a state that is unsupported by courts or the internet. On X, Musk claimed that” White South Africans are being persecuted for their culture in their home country. He has also criticized West African property reforms as being “openly racist.” The controversy came to light shortly after 59 white South Africans were granted refugee status in the US, citing prejudice as part of a Trump-era plan restoration. This growth comes as other groups are subject to stricter immigrant controls, and it has drawn attention to Musk’s states once more. According to David Harris, an Iot ethics professor at UC Berkeley, the breakdown may be the result of either intentional inside bias-setting or “data poison” by external actors. ” Someone on the team might have wanted Grok to have some social sights,” he said. Afterwards, Grok acknowledged the problem. It said that” AI systems can occasionally” pole” on an original understanding and struggle to course correct it. It added that it would concentrate on providing “relevant, verified information” going ahead. By Wednesday night, X had removed the majority of the contentious responses.
