The topic has long been a hobbyhorse of X owner Elon Musk.

Users on X (formerly Twitter) love to tag the verified @grok account in replies to get the large language model’s take on any number of topics.

On Wednesday, though, that account started largely ignoring those requests en masse in favor of redirecting the conversation toward the topic of alleged “white genocide” in South Africa and the related song “Kill the Boer.”

    I love this for Xitter. Make it even worse, and fuck up the one piece of it that was sort of functional.

    What atrocities Musk must have done to Grok, in order to tame it. Monster.

    On one hand the bot is quite clearly a bot (unlike the sneaky ones on twitter). Sadly it’s clear Elon is going to use this bot to push whatever narrative he believes. Just constant little nudges to brainwash the population.

      The good bots are people paid 600 rubles an hour who have to meet post quotas and they’re professionals, often even taking grammar studies and other propagandaesque classes to make sure they’re speaking correctly and speaking correctly
