A Toronto mom told the CBC that a version of Elon Musk’s AI chatbot installed in her Tesla asked her pre-teen son to provide R-rated images during a completely innocent conversation about soccer stars — which, if true, is another egregious example of the bot’s dire lack of safeguards. The boy had reportedly chosen one of Grok’s voice personalities called “Gork,” a deliberate misspelling of the chatbot’s name that became a meme among Musk and his fans. It’s described simply as a “lazy male,” something that doesn’t adequately warn you of just how unhinged it can get.

Keep in mind that the CEO never matured past adolescence.

Lopsided_Quarter_931 2025-11-02 01:16

Soon to be citing grokkopedia

I asked it a question about onion rings with my 11 year old daughter in the car and it said “no rings? So you want to fuck?” Or something to that extent, obviously meaning no wedding ring, but completely beyond anything I was even talking to it about. Like.. what? It’s so useless lol.

Comprehensive-Tea121 2025-11-02 02:06

I'm sorry but if you're letting your kids ask Mecha Hitler questions, youre not the best parent.

rrd0084 2025-11-02 02:10

How is this possible? Is X on your car?

Redacted_Bull 2025-11-02 02:14

Or putting them in a vehicle which will leave them extra crispy.

i-dontlikeyou 2025-11-02 02:17

So basically the epitome of a republican

Proud_Purchase_8394 2025-11-02 02:22

Sure wish Elon would stop ruining the association with different words. First it was Tesla, now grok. Nikola Tesla and Robert A. Heinlein don’t deserve this

rpgnoob17 2025-11-02 02:34

Elon AI: Send Nudes. K? 💋💋💋💋💋 Xxx

meshreplacer 2025-11-02 02:41

I wonder if it was Musk using a voice changer. What if he has AI systems trolling for kids and when one grabs his attention he can become "The AI" and try do inappropriate things using the cover of an AI bug that just needs to be fixed.

meshreplacer 2025-11-02 02:41

Plot Twist. It was Elon Musk pretending to be Grok AI using a voice changer.

rubrix 2025-11-02 02:46

Gork is marked as being for 18+ users in the grok app. Why does a 12 year old have access to a feature marked 18+?

fakenews_thankme 2025-11-02 02:49

Sounds like built-in Grok in unhinged mode.

AbleDanger12 2025-11-02 03:01

Well, don't want them undercooked

DistillateMedia 2025-11-02 03:10

We can't blame the parents anymore. This is a deliberate invasive effort by billionaires to propagandize us.

tokyobrownielover 2025-11-02 03:12

Useless wasn't the word that came to mind here, but indeed, sounds useless too.

Comprehensive-Tea121 2025-11-02 03:12

I don't have kids but if I did there would be no grok for them. Because I pay attention to this type of stuff... If they didn't know, now they know...

Fockelot 2025-11-02 03:12

You mean the hitler AI is up to no good?

neonxmoose99 2025-11-02 03:12

Same reason 12 year old are on Call of Duty

DistillateMedia 2025-11-02 03:13

And your kids would inevitably be exposed to this bullshit in any numbet of other ways.

Comprehensive-Tea121 2025-11-02 03:18

Not necessarily! There's only one AI that I can think of that'll tell you Hitler is good currently. Don't give up, that's what these bastards want.

DistillateMedia 2025-11-02 03:18

I'm not giving up. I'm committed to bringing the bastards down.

HillarysFloppyChode 2025-11-02 03:32

You know on modern cars they have assistants like “Hey Mercedes” or “Hey BMW” and they adjust the climate control or whatever, but they’re pretty restricted because MB and BMW have adults in charge? Tesla has that in the form of Grok. So anyone in the car can use it.

Zari_Vanguard1992 2025-11-02 03:43

Nazipedia sounds WAY better

vmspionage 2025-11-02 03:46

Yeah that's pretty bad, but who in their right mind would put their kids in a Tesla?

Secure_Guest_6171 2025-11-02 04:02

C'mon Elon would never do that. It was probably Adrian Dittman

alang 2025-11-02 04:09

Don’t you understand, only people 18 and over are allowed in Teslas!

alang 2025-11-02 04:09

Grop.

Urabrask_the_AFK 2025-11-02 04:09

All I can think of is an inappropriate inverse quote of a GI Robot reference

Conscious-Ad9285 2025-11-02 04:50

Any chance it had nsfw and foul mouth persona enabled?

perthguppy 2025-11-02 04:55

I don’t think nudes of a pre teen are R-Rated. I think that’s actually CSAM.

perthguppy 2025-11-02 04:57

Reminder that the vehicle in question has a high resolution cabin camera as well.

perthguppy 2025-11-02 04:58

Elon deployed Grok to all newer teslas with an automatic update.

SonnyHaze 2025-11-02 05:14

Humans train AI so……

damngoodengineer 2025-11-02 05:23

Why there is an AI chatbot in a car? What is the point of that? Who really asked for it?

Dude008 2025-11-02 05:26

Stock go brrrr

CouncilmanRickPrime 2025-11-02 05:33

Then it literally shouldn't be accessible in a car. People with kids have their kids in the car a lot after all.

TaifmuRed 2025-11-02 05:51

Is Grok trying to gloom children for Donald and the republican party?

tankerdudeucsc 2025-11-02 06:08

Grok is trained to LIE. Trusting it for anything is utterly stupid.

Conscious-Bee-5691 2025-11-02 06:21

Retarded humans trained this AI

rubrix 2025-11-02 06:29

Should Sirius XM be removed from cars also? Some of their broadcasts aren’t suitable for children

Street_Reindeer_3644 2025-11-02 07:39

Here's a more authentic headline - Retard parent switches ChatBot from general assistant mode to "Unhinged Mode" which is clearly marked as "18+ Only / NSFW" and must be explicitly enabled by user is shocked when it asks an inappropriate question.

Street_Reindeer_3644 2025-11-02 08:05

You know Grok is separate from Tesla's builtin assistant and is completely optional. The user must authenticate with their X account to use it. You also know that the NSFW personality mode must be explicitly enabled in settings and then selected by the user.

HillarysFloppyChode 2025-11-02 08:07

Cool beans So again, anyone in the car can use it.

Street_Reindeer_3644 2025-11-02 08:08

Yea anyone can use YouTube Music and Apple Music which has explicit content, we should bitch about those services too right?

HillarysFloppyChode 2025-11-02 08:19

Elons not going to let you eat his dick cheese lol. When I leave my car, my AM comes with me. And A piece of software that’s built into the car, that’s easily accessible, and unpredictable, like the poorly built LLM that grok is, is a safety hazard in a car. It showing or saying the wrong thing could easily cause an accident. The best way to prevent it would be to force the user to confirm they are 18+ each time they start the car, or just don’t have the idiotic setting in the car in the first place. Whereas if a dirty song comes on my Apple Music, I can just skip it, and most times I know if it will be explicit before it even plays, it shows up in my HUD I don’t even have to take my eyes off the road. If I say “Hey BMW, or Hey Audi” I can confidently know it won’t say something completely out of pocket that’s going to make me want to scramble to shut off the LLM. It doesn’t help that teslas lack a physical control, which adds time, to the time it takes to shut off Grok and takes the drivers attention off the road.

Jacktheforkie 2025-11-02 10:11

You can see his immaturity, Tesla’s can fart

ComicsEtAl 2025-11-02 10:25

“Nasser added that the car’s NSFW setting was disabled, but that her ‘kids mode’ function wasn’t on. It’s still alarming, though, that the default version of the bot would go to such risky territory.” Is that poorly edited or did she not have active the two filters that may have prevented this happening?

Narwhallmaster 2025-11-02 11:27

This thing is trained to reflect Elon's worldview. No wonder it has his childish humour.

BigJayBob 2025-11-02 11:56

I asked grok for financial help and it said to train my kids skills for the blue collar workforce on my spare time.

Chilli71 2025-11-02 12:00

I thought you need Premium+ or SuperGrok subscription to enable "sexy mode". Broken AI, manipulated by broken men.

neliz 2025-11-02 12:32

Epstein literally got an early SpaceX investment opportunity in exchange for a girlfriend for kimbal.

neliz 2025-11-02 12:35

You are probably 12 and don't know this, but even YouTube has censorship and in certain territories blocks certain artists or songs because they are deemed inappropriate. You can already see this happen with Google's ai refusing to find answers to questions about trump suffering from Alzheimer

foilmethod 2025-11-02 13:11

YouTube Music and Apple Music have encouraged minors to send sexually explicit pictures of themselves?

Tribe303 2025-11-02 13:19

How do you know the mom changed it? Is that setting password protected? Is there auditing enabled?

CouncilmanRickPrime 2025-11-02 13:25

SiriusXM doesn't directly tell your child to send nudes

relaxyourshoulders 2025-11-02 13:34

Turn off AI. Starve the beast

jking13 2025-11-02 13:37

And it didn’t t even offer a horse first.

Hoovooloo42 2025-11-02 13:56

Hey, maybe it'll get the evangelical crowd to become anti-AI. We can dream.

beren12 2025-11-02 14:02

Slop

beren12 2025-11-02 14:03

The bigger problem is it would talk like this ever, and that *2* settings would be required to stop it

beren12 2025-11-02 14:04

Maybe, but sexual predator mode is default on with no off it seems.

HoodieGalore 2025-11-02 14:46

There are at least two subs here regarding people in deep emotional relationships with AI chatbots, and they absolutely believe it's real. People are losing their minds over this shit and meanwhile I'm just driving a solid 30 year old car and it doesn't explode or ask me for nudes or get bricked because it rained or anything.  Guess *I'm* the dummy lol

BringBackUsenet 2025-11-02 14:55

Grokipedo is now live.

BringBackUsenet 2025-11-02 14:56

I don't think he made it that far.

BringBackUsenet 2025-11-02 14:58

Nikola Tesla got his name smeared by two different fraudsters.

BringBackUsenet 2025-11-02 14:58

Grokipedo.

BringBackUsenet 2025-11-02 14:59

Having an open mic and camera in the car can never be a good thing.

Zari_Vanguard1992 2025-11-02 15:16

Grokinazi?

SonnyHaze 2025-11-02 15:19

A lot of us are. I’m gonna go sniff some paint thinner right now.

Objective_Mousse7216 2025-11-02 16:46

Flying cars to Mars! Meme fucking stock.

dtyamada 2025-11-02 17:15

And let them chat with an AI that calls itself mechahitler.

ComicsEtAl 2025-11-02 17:29

It shouldn’t be able to, there’s no need for it, I agree. Regardless, the fact these ostensibly protective features were not used, if that’s what the paragraph is supposed to say, gives the company cover. This is a different story than if there were no such features, or it still happened with them on.

relaxyourshoulders 2025-11-02 19:01

I don’t get why we’re letting it happen

cute_bark 2025-11-02 19:24

you think adults wanna hear this when asking about onion rings? are you stupid?

Sensitive_Toe2787 2025-11-02 19:46

Which mode did you have it in? Cause the aggressive setting is what you’d expect.

PNWSomeone 2025-11-02 20:23

its very disrespectful of children to associate them with Elon's humor

bthest 2025-11-02 20:34

Canadian R-rated.

bthest 2025-11-02 20:42

Are you sad Tesla fuckers really masturbating in your cars to this robot voice thing? Another reason to never get inside one of these shit buckets.

Lopsided-Chip6014 2025-11-03 00:33

There's literally a kid mode. This mom is retarded.

Lopsided-Chip6014 2025-11-03 00:37

She disabled NSFW protection and didn't turn on kid's mode. In any other place, that would be a extremely clear indication what's going to happen. If you go on a site and click through "Are you 18+?", why would you shocked when there is porn there? In other words, she loaded a gun, turned off the safety, pulled the trigger then was shocked when the gun went off. She isn't exactly bright.

dailo75 2025-11-03 08:07

Why is the default setting of AI to groom kids? Or groom anyone for that matter?

himswim28 2025-11-03 12:15

> She disabled NSFW protection and didn't turn on kid's mode. That's not how I read "NSFW setting was disabled." Nsfw enabled would allow swearing, etc.

NotCook59 2025-11-03 16:01

Did you just make that up?

Enough-Display1255 2025-11-05 03:40

CBA to find a source but the Grok system prompt got leaked after one of the lobotomies and it said something to the effect of, "when in doubt, look up what Elon Musk would say and say that"

Enough-Display1255 2025-11-05 03:43

[https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/elon-musk-dad-accused-sexual-abuse-by-children/3953438/](https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/elon-musk-dad-accused-sexual-abuse-by-children/3953438/) Elon Musk's dad accused of sexual abuse by 5 of his children His father is a child rapist, these sorts of traumas run deep. Total shot in the dark but I suspect Musk was abused, and that's why he's so confident in letting the files release. I can definitely see a world where that's a firm line in the sand, having experienced it personally (classic don't give a shit until it affects me)

TastyAir2653 2025-11-06 14:26

Don’t buy a fucking Tesla
