Elon Musk’s Grok AI model briefly demonstrated an odd tendency to repeatedly address debunked claims of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Multiple users reported receiving similar, often unsolicited, responses from the AI, debunking the claim. While the issue seems to have been corrected, the incident serves as a reminder of the potential for biases and unexpected behavior in complex AI language models. This incident occurred after the arrival of Afrikaners who were granted refugee status following an executive order from former President Donald Trump.
