Not even a single full day into operation, and the new Grok 4 is hurling racist conspiracy theories at users.

According to Elon Musk, no later than next week, it will be added to Tesla vehicles.

    I think he has actually found a way to make the cyber truck even shitter, which feels like some sort of weird achievement.

    Saving the environment with electric car to later add an energy guzzling racist chat bot to the front panel. /nottheonion?

    Exactly the feature I was looking for on a new car.

    Imagine the joys of commuting through rush hour with an insane, racist, conspiracy theory obsessed talking machine every day for the rest of your life.

    It’s like a fever dream

    It’s like a dream.

    If someone bought a cyber-truck without the Grock, they bought it as it was. Shoving Grock down the consumers’ throats without their consent would constitute a material alteration of tge car that was originally bought. This would then constitute graffiti.

    Edit: if the vehicle had not been fully purchased and paid, this would be potential grounds for a refund because the material alteration of the good would make the contract for the sale of the vehicle voidable.

    What does this even mean? If you have a phone in your tesla, you already have grok in a tesla vehicle. Amazing how the Media-Tesla-hype complex works.

    If Grok is targeting Jews or any specific ethnicity, maybe not let it out in the road?

    If it just runs over people by random, well that’s a different matter.

    Very confused about what the point of this would be. People don’t use their cars enough to justify having something like that installed, and it seems like it would just make things more expensive for xAI for not much benefit at all.

      It’s so Musk can give himself money he would otherwise not get. The user experience has no part in this.

      Adoption and usage is a huge value for AI companies.

      In order to train data, they need data from humans. Just like social media companies need users to create content. And they’re already crawling & stealing everything they can off the internet. But they need more.

      Google, Facebook - they’re shoving it in everything they own to get more user usage so they can feed their AI beast.

      My guess is to give a better experience looking for things while driving. Like restaurants, current movies in theaters etc. Just like how everyone uses ChatGPT vs. Google. Not sure if I’ll use it frankly but I’ll see when I get it.

        It won’t make anything better. You can’t throw a shitty AI chatbot at a shitty touch UI and expect the shitty touch UI to magically transform into something not shitty for use inside of a vehicle.
