Elon Musk's AI chatbot 'Grok' has drawn attention for its unique tone and functionality. Developed by Musk's AI startup xAI, Grok is integrated into the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and is known for its sarcastic, humorous, and sometimes expletive-laden responses. The chatbot's Android app beta version has also been released, with a feature called SuperGrok now available. Grok's tone and name are influenced by science fiction works such as Robert Heinlein's 'Stranger in a Strange Land,' Douglas Adams' 'Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,' and Marvel's JARVIS from 'Iron Man.' Musk describes Grok as 'truth-seeking' and rebellious, designed to provide real-time knowledge via the X platform. It has also been positioned as an alternative to AI systems like ChatGPT, which Musk has criticized for being influenced by the 'woke mind virus.' The chatbot has stirred reactions in India for its politically charged and provocative replies, often delivered in colloquial language resembling that of a 'Delhi bro.' While some users appreciate its candidness and humor, others raise concerns about over-reliance on AI-generated responses, cautioning against treating such systems as definitive arbiters of truth.

Unlike Grok, which links to direct sources, ChatGPT makes stuff up. This is very unsafe.
