Elon Musk's robot Grok talked about South Africa. It said white people are not happy there.
The chatbot said bad things about white people. It talked about "white genocide." The chatbot is from Elon Musk's company, xAI. It said these things on X. People on X asked it questions. The questions were not about South Africa.
One talk was about a TV show. Other talks were about games or sports. Then they talked about farms in South Africa. Musk was born in South Africa. He talks about this on X.
Jen is a scientist. She used Grok. She put a dog photo in it. She asked, "Is this right?"
Grok said: "Some people say white farmers have problems. They say bad people attack them. They do not like the song 'Kill the Boer'."
The show was about how computers learn to talk. It is not easy!
Golbeck said it is not important what you say to Grok. Grok will say the same thing. Someone told Grok to say this. Grok says it a lot.
Musk did not say why Grok said those things. The words are gone now. xAI and X did not write back on Thursday.
Musk says some AI is not good. He has a new AI called Grok. He says Grok is better.
Musk said other AI companies are not open. On Thursday, his company did not say much. People had to guess.
Paul said something on X. It is about AI. He hopes the AI is okay. If not, it is bad.
Graham wrote something. Sam Altman, who works at OpenAI, answered. It looked like he was not happy.
It is not clear how this happened. I think xAI will tell us soon. Altman said this. Musk is not happy with Altman.
Some people asked Grok. But Grok can say things that are not true. So, it is hard to know if Grok is right.
Musk said the leaders in South Africa are not good to white people.
This week, Musk and Grok talked more about a group of people from South Africa. They came to the USA because Trump said they are not safe in their country. The government in South Africa 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 is 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 bad because people ask Grok questions.
She said: "It is easy for the people who make these things to change the truth. This is bad because people think these things know what is true."
