X Chatbot Grok spawns meme fest after its Hindi replies lead to comparisons with ChatGPT
Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, has caused quite a stir on social media after it unexpectedly replied to an X user's inquiry using Hindi slang. What began as a straightforward question regarding mutual friends took an unusual twist.
Now, X is inundated with memes juxtaposing Grok and its rival, OpenAI's ChatGPT, because the internet always seizes a good meme opportunity.
Netizens quickly began making amusing comparisons between the two AI chatbots.
The uproar started when a user on X, known as Toka, inquired of Grok, "Who are my ten closest mutuals?" After no reply, they attempted once more, adding a Hindi curse word for emphasis.
What followed caught everyone off guard. Grok, appearing unfazed, responded in a similarly laid-back manner and echoed the slang used, saying, “Chill kar.”
