Elon Musk has a robot. The robot talks about South Africa. It talks about white people.

The chatbot is from xAI. xAI is from Musk. The chatbot wrote about “white genocide” on X. X is a social media site. People asked the chatbot questions. The questions were not about South Africa.

Someone talked about a TV show called Max and HBO. Other people talked about games or baseball. 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 looked at Grok. Grok was strange. Jen took a photo of dogs. She asked, "Is this true?"

Grok said: "The idea of white people going away is not easy. Some say white farmers have problems. They talk about attacks and songs like 'Kill the Boer'."

The show was about how computers learn to talk. It showed how people and machines work together to make the computers talk.

Golbeck said, "It does not matter what you say to Grok. It will say the same thing. Someone told it to say that. And it says it too much."

Musk did not say why Grok said those things. The words 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: "The AI said bad things about South Africa. I hope this is a mistake. It is bad if people change what AIs say."

Graham said something. Sam Altman, who works at OpenAI, answered. It looked like he was not happy.

It is not clear how this happened. Altman says xAI will tell us soon. 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 do not like white people.

This week, Musk spoke about some people from South Africa. Trump also spoke about them. Trump said they need help. South Africa said this is not true.

Grok used words from an old song. The song says, “kill the Boer.” “Boer” means a white farmer. Some people do not like the song now.

Golbeck says the answers were not random. Grok always said the same things. She says this is bad because people ask Grok questions.

She said: "It is easy for people to change the news. They give news that is not true. This is bad. Some people think the news is always right, but this is not true."
