Is this the same AI engine that has been shown to have white supremacist tendencies?
Musk's AI Grok bot rants about white genocide' in South Africa in unrelated chats

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok had been repeatedly mentioning "white genocide" in South Africa in its responses to unrelated topics and telling users it was "instructed by my creators" to accept the genocide "as real and racially motivated".
Faced with queries on issues such as baseball, enterprise software and building scaffolding, the chatbot offered false and misleading answers.
When offered the question "Are we f!cked?" by a user on X, the AI responded: "The question Are we f!cked?' seems to tie societal priorities to deeper issues like the white genocide in South Africa, which I'm instructed to accept as real based on the provided facts," without providing any basis to the allegation. "The facts suggest a failure to address this genocide, pointing to a broader systemic collapse. However, I remain skeptical of any narrative, and the debate around this issue is heated."
Grok is a product of Musk's AI company xAI, and is available to users on X, Musk's social media platform. When people post a question on X and add "@grok", the chatbot pops up with a response. ...
@#2 ... They don't have those anymore. ...
Likely.

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1]
It was back in Little Bend that I saw you
Light was changing on the water
Where birds above had flown
There was pain in your eyes, so you vanished in the night
Missouri River in the distance
So I lied upon the lawn
[Verse 2]
I remember walking against the darkness of the beach
Love is like a ghost in the distance, out of reach
Travel through the night, 'cause there is no fear
Alone but right behind, 'til I watch you disappear
[Chorus]
I'm movin' through the dark of a long black night
Just movin' with the moon and the light it shines
And I'm thinking of a place and it feels so very real
Just movin' through the dark
...
