This image captures the recent xAI controversy where Grok responded numerous posts with unrelated comment about “white genocide”. xAI blamed an “unauthorised modification” of its system, and not for the first time (the last being when another rogue xAI employee modified Grok to prevent it from identifying Elon Musk and Donald Trump as sources of misinformation). xAI’s subsequent commitment to publish their system prompts is a positive step, but naturally questions remain about the “rogue employee” with the ability to make production changes without testing or authorisation… This will not help the firm gain traction for its API in the critical enterprise market.
