Is why you should NEVER trust an AI...
xAI blamed "an unauthorized modification" for its chatbot Grok giving users off-topic and false responses about "white genocide" in South Africa this week.
Why it matters: xAI owner Elon Musk, who is from South Africa, has also
falsely accused the country of perpetuating "genocide" against white residents, a claim President Trump has also embraced.
A South African court in February ruled there was no validity to the claims of a "white genocide."
Driving the news: "On May 14 at approximately 3:15 AM PST, an unauthorized modification was made to the Grok response bot's prompt on X. This change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, violated xAI's internal policies and core values," xAI said in a post late Thursday night.

Sooo, 'sumdood' got into the software and changed it to give a different answer...
Granted this is 'rather' high profile, but what about everyday stuff?
How many people actually trust Wiki to be correct? Anybody can 'fix' a Wiki entry... And a number of folks have had their Wiki pages hacked time and time again by those who don't like them.
Now, at least that I know of, we have the first 'official' admission that somebody played with the code to change an AI...
Caveat emptor folks, caveat emptor!
Remember! Just like white people can't be discriminated against, you CAN'T have a GENOCIDE if it's only White People being killed! :-D
After all, all of the other races and all of the courts say so! So it MUST BE TRUE!
:-D
We’ve got a friend who is from South Africa and from what he describes is happening down there, genocide certainly is a word that comes to mind.
But you are right thst AI is not intelligent and has already been censored; this is just them finally admitting it happens
