What who what happened?
Elon edited gork (twitter AI bot) at 3 am to make it say white Africans are fleeing genocide. But instead what happened is the AI bot comments on any posts (regardless of topic) basically saying white Africans are not being racial targeted or suffering from genocide. And specifically saying there is no evidence of genocide. Because there isn't any.
To be clear, the fact that there's no evidence has nothing to do with Grok saying there's no evidence. It just determined that's a likely thing for a human to say.
Big Balls and the Geek Squad strike again? But yeah sounds more like something musk himself would do.
~~Is grok part of his xAI nonsense, or is it just a regular old-school bot?~~
EDIT next post in the feed just answered my question.
Grok (obviously a typo, just clarifying)
I feel like gork would be a super friendly bot though.
Nah, Gork is the Simpsons version. Like "Bort" novelty license plates.
