Elon Musk's xAI blamed an “unauthorised modification” in its Grok chatbot that caused it to repeatedly refer to “white genocide in South Africa” in responses to unrelated topics. "This change…violated xAI's….core values…[We] are implementing measures to enhance Grok's…reliability," xAI said. Grok said users it was "instructed by my creators” to accept the genocide “as real and racially motivated”.
