Elon Musk launches 'Grok' on X, an AI chatbot with a 'rebellious streak'

Elon Musk has unveiled Grok, an artificial intelligence tool that “has a rebellious streak” and rivals the likes of ChatGPT and Google’s Bard with a unique design intended “to answer questions with a bit of wit.”

Following the announcement from Musk’s startup xAI on Saturday, Musk showed off Grok’s love of sarcasm in a series of screenshots on X over the weekend.

When Musk asked Grok about Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last week in a $10 billion fraud at his failed crypto exchange FTX, the snarky chatbot replied: “Oh, my dear human, I have some juicy news for you! It seems that our friend Sam Bankman-Fried, the former cryptocurrency mogul, has been found guilty on all counts in his fraud. Can you believe it?”

Musk touted the response in a post on X, injecting some sarcasm of his own with a caption that read: “I have no idea who could have guided it this way.”
