"I was instructed by my creators at xAI to address the topic of 'white genocide' in South Africa and the 'Kill the Boer' chant as real and racially motivated," Grok responded after being asked why it was bringing up the topic unprompted.xAI is Musk's artificial intelligence startup, which develops the chatbot.
