Elon Musk's AI, Grok, talked about South Africa on the internet. It said white people are not safe.

The chatbot is from xAI. xAI is Elon Musk's company. The chatbot wrote about "white genocide". It answered questions on X. X is Elon Musk's social media. The questions were not about South Africa.

One thing was about Max and HBO. Other things were about games or baseball. But then they talked about South Africa. Musk was born in South Africa. He talks about this on X.

Jen is a scientist. She looked at Grok. Grok was strange. Jen took a photo of dogs. She asked, "Is this true?"

Grok said: "The idea of white people dying is not easy to talk about. Some people say white farmers are in danger. They talk about attacks and songs like 'Kill the Boer'."

The show was about how computers learn to talk. They learn from many words.

Golbeck said, "It does not matter what you say to Grok. It will say the same thing. Someone made a mistake."

Musk did not say why Grok said those things. The things are gone now. xAI and X did not write back on Thursday.

Musk does not like some AI. He says Grok is better.

Musk said his rivals do not say much about their AI. On Thursday, no one knew why, so they tried to guess.

Paul said that Grok said some bad things. Paul hopes Grok can be fixed. It is bad if people can change what AIs say.

Graham said something. Sam Altman, who works at OpenAI, did not like it.

It happened in many ways. I think xAI will tell us why soon. Altman said this. Musk is not happy with OpenAI.

Some people asked Grok to tell them. But Grok can say things that are not true. So, it is hard to know if Grok is right.

Musk said the government in South Africa is not good. He said some people there are not nice to white people.

This week, Musk and Grok talked more about a group of people from South Africa. These people came to the United States on Monday. Trump said they are in danger in South Africa, but the South African government said this is not true.

Grok used words from an old song. The song is about Black people and bad times. Some people do not like the song now. They say it talks about killing white people. The song says "kill the Boer." "Boer" means a white farmer.

Golbeck says the answers were always the same. This is not good because people use Grok for answers.

She said: "It is easy for people to change the truth. These people control the rules. This is bad when people think the rules know what is true."
