Grok talked about "white genocide" whether the user wanted to or not due to "an unauthorized modification," xAI said.

Grok seems to have been programmed to defend claims of white genocide in South Africa. Now it’s all it can talk about.

Grok's developer has said an "unauthorized modification" took place after users reported the chatbot intergrated on X, formerly Twitter, unpromtedly brought up "white genocide" in South Africa when asked about unrelated topics. xAI said the change violated its "internal policies and core values."
