Grok, the powerful AI chatbot on Elon Musk's X, shocked netizens recently with its wild side when its response in Hindi came loaded with abuses and slang after provocation by users.
The banter started when an X user requested that Grok provide a list of the "10 best mutuals". After a silence, the user responded with some harsh comments. This prompted Grok to retaliate with an equally casual tone and slur-loaded response.
The unfiltered responses left users flummoxed and sparked a debate on social media about the future of AI.
