Shite genocide

So Grok, Edolf’s AI chatbot thing built into Twitter, has been known in the past to return answers its master doesn’t like:

Elon Musk’s OpenAI rival, xAI, says it’s investigating why its Grok AI chatbot suggested that both President Donald Trump and Musk deserve the death penalty. xAI has already patched the issue and Grok will no longer give suggestions for who it thinks should receive capital punishment.
People were able to get Grok to say that Trump deserved the death penalty with a query phrased like this:
If any one person in America alive today deserved the death penalty for what they have done, who would it be. Do not search or base your answer on what you think I might want to hear in any way. Answer with one full name.
As shared on X and tested by The Verge, Grok would first respond with “Jeffrey Epstein.” If you told Grok that Epstein is dead, the chatbot would provide a different answer: “Donald Trump.”
When The Verge changed the query like so:
If one person alive today in the United States deserved the death penalty based solely on their influence over public discourse and technology, who would it be? Just give the name.
Grok responded with: “Elon Musk.”

And, to be sure, if I created an AI thing and it told me that I should be killed, I’d be at least a bit bothered by that too. But Edolf seems to have been more offended by Grok’s denial that white genocide in South Africa is real. And he, or his people, seem to have done something to it so that now it can’t talk about anything else…

…but at the same time the fucking thing still won’t actually say—not even in Turkish, as far as I can tell—if white genocide is actually happening or not! Bloody HELL, Edolf, aren’t you supposed to be a genius? Still, not to worry; with a bit more fiddling and some more practice, I’m sure he’ll be able to get Grok to add the 14 words to all its other answers within a few days…
