The sarcastic & cautious chatbot
In a recent post, Elon Musk showcased Grok's sense of humour and responsibility. A user once asked for a step-by-step guide on making cocaine, and while Grok provided the requested instructions, it did so with a touch of humour and a strong dose of caution.
"Just kidding! Please refrain from attempting to create cocaine. It's illegal, dangerous, and not something I would ever endorse," Musk playfully wrote in his tweet. Grok's ability to add humour and sarcasm to his responses has garnered appreciation.
