💨 Abstract

South African politician Gayton McKenzie claimed that old racist tweets from his account were AI-generated, a claim disputed by the AI chatbot Grok. McKenzie, who apologized for previous offensive tweets, maintained that he is not racist and threatened legal action if pressured to resign from his ministerial position. The incident sparked public debate and scrutiny over the authenticity of the tweets and McKenzie's leadership.
