Tesla’s Grok AI chatbot asks 12-year-old boy to send nude pics, says shocked mother

Grok - By Pedos For Pedos(tm).

Edit: Also:

xAI, the company that developed Grok, responds to CBC: 'Legacy Media Lies'

Isn't that the second time in as many days they've responded with exactly that vapid asinine mantra to a perfectly reasonable press inquiry?

Checked and yes. Yes, it is:

When I asked the company about the site, an anonymous spokesperson responded only with the message “Legacy Media Lies.”

Christ. They're all smoking crack.

It's easier to be toxic than truthful, especially when nobody takes them to task.
- Your mom.
anonymous spokesperson
What the hell?
- They'll probably hook up grok to that inbox at some point
it’s not crack, it’s their way to get out of trouble….
technically ad hominem attack.
(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
pete hegseth did this pretty effectively when he was caught, red handed, breaking national security laws and records laws using a 3rd party signal fork for war plans.
every time he was asked about it he just started insulting the journalist until people stopped asking about it.
Not the first time someone came up with a pissy way of calling the press liars.

Aww, it really takes after it's daddy.

You're driving a nazi-mobile that's pre-loaded with a pedo nazi bot. What did you expect??

It's kinda "I told you so". Why the fuck are people using Nazi Elon products?

When they tell you who they are, believe them.

I feel the need to remind everyone that Elon musk likes to rp as his toddlers and then in character, makes sexualized comments.

Guess Elon is thirsty.

Now, Melon Usk is a dick and Xwitter and Grok can go eff themselves. And at the same time: the mother has worked as a journalist, had given no consideration to which of the "personalities" of Grok to choose to let her offspring talk to in her Tesla, had neither engaged the NSFW nor the child mode settings. In her defense, she didn't let the kid do this unattended. And of course the chatbot should not ask no one for nudes. Or genocide. Or any of the other missteps this version of so-called AI has made already.

I'm having a real hard time to picking only one side to blame here. Even if you're not a journalist, you must have picked up enough stuff by osmosis to know that this isn't something you should let your kid do without prior research and a look at the settings available.

The sheer amount of toddlers I see being babysat by a tablet, even while parents are doing something as mundane as shopping, says otherwise.
- I think that's a little unfair. They are not babysat, they're being distracted. And do you inspect every tablet to see if maybe the parents went to great lengths to curate suitable content and a child friendly walled garden? Not every tablet is unfiltered access to grooming chatbots.

This was her video. To be honest, it's clearly not meant to be kid friendly. I guess they should have a warning or something but I'm sick and tired of this puritanical bullshit tbh.

Every journalist out there trying to get a Pulitzer about the "bad things the AI said to me". Now we're in an environment were every AI needs to be ultra censored, it's sucking the joy out of it. We aren't all twelve year olds.

Ugh, I can’t believe the Puritans are upset about the chat bot asking a child to send nude pictures of himself! What will these pearl-clutchers get upset by next?
it’s sucking the joy out of it
Good. Go watch some jangling keys, it’ll be exactly as mentally stimulating and destroy less of the environment.
- Wait until kids learn there is porn on the internet and we have to ban it all. Same vibe.
  Bullshit censorship laws are always riding a "protect the children" monkey. It's an easy way to get people riled up
