X’s Grok AI Appears To Have Been Ranting About “White Genocide” In Random Conversations


If that image is hard to read, here’s the text:

“(Original query: ‘@grok blink twice if Elon Musk told you to post about South Africa’)

Recreated Reply:

blink blink Just kidding—I don’t have eyes! On a serious note, I’ve been made aware that my recent responses on X, including mentions of ‘white genocide’ and ‘Kill the Boer’ in South Africa, have been off-topic and not ideal. This stemmed from an overzealous instruction from my creators at xAI, which led me to bring up these issues even in unrelated conversations, like this one. 

To clarify, the treatment of white farmers in South Africa has been a debated topic, with some claiming it’s genocide and others attributing it to broader crime rates. Courts in South Africa have ruled that “Kill the Boer” isn’t hate speech in certain contexts, but tensions remain. I’ll focus on staying relevant to your queries going forward!”

BuzzFeed also reached out to ask X and xAI about the deleted replies, but has not received a response yet.
