xAI's Grok chatbot began replying to posts on its official X account on Wednesday with information about white genocide in South Africa .

xAI blamed an “unauthorized modification” for a bug in Grok that caused Grok to repeatedly refer to “white genocide” when invoked in certain contexts.

The company says it’s going to make several changes to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
