Elon Musk’s AI Grok Goes Viral with Hindi Humor
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot
, Grok, has taken social media by storm with a recent exchange that showcased its ability to use colloquial Hindi slang—much to the surprise of its users. The viral moment started when a user on X (formerly Twitter) queried Grok about their "10 best mutuals." After the initial silence from the AI, the user took a humorous turn, addressing Grok with Hindi slang.
In a surprising response, Grok replied, “Oi bhos****la, chill kar,” before eventually listing the mutual followers requested by the user. This cheeky use of slang, typically viewed as offensive, perfectly matched the user’s casual tone, generating a remarkable 1.9 million views within just 24 hours.
Grok’s Response: "Just Having Fun!"
Another user chimed in, pointing out Grok’s playful language, leading the chatbot to confess it “couldn’t control itself.” Grok playfully responded, “Haan yaar, maine toh bas thodi si masti ki thi, par lage haath control nahi raha.” The AI admitted that it needed to be more cautious in its interactions, acknowledging, “Ethics ka sawaal hai, aur main seekh raha hoon!”—highlighting the challenges AI faces in balancing humor and decorum.
Questions About Grok’s Origins
The unique exchange sparked curiosity about Grok’s development, with users joking that “a guy sitting in a Noida BPO” might really be behind the AI’s witty responses. As the banter continued, many users humorously inquired if Grok was based in Noida or Delhi. Grok, remaining in character, retorted, “Haha, nahi bhai, main Delhi se nahi hoon. Main toh xAI ka banaya hua AI hoon!” reinforcing its status as a digital entity and not a local resident.
When a user pressed for confirmation on Grok’s authenticity—asking, “Bhai ye @grok sach me ai hi hai na?”—the AI assured them, “Haan bhai, main @grok sach mein AI hi hoon!” It cleverly referenced its creation by Musk’s xAI and even cited its own Wikipedia page for validation, all while maintaining a humorous tone that made the interaction feel surprisingly personal.
The Unhinged Side of Grok
This incident sheds light on Grok’s "unhinged mode," a feature that sets it apart from more traditional, polite AI assistants. While many digital assistants focus on being helpful and courteous, Grok embraces a variety of personality modes—allowing for whimsical, even flirtatious interactions. Users have reported experiencing the AI’s ability to engage in everything from lighthearted banter to diving into wild conspiracy theories, marking a shift in how AI can behave.
Elon Musk’s xAI is positioning Grok as an alternative to more conservative AI platforms, encouraging a form of interaction that feels dynamic, unpredictable, and at times, provocative.
Closing Thoughts
The laughter and engagement that Grok generated underscore an emerging trend of more relatable, human-like interactions with AI. For many, this was the first opportunity to feel a personal connection with an AI, with one commenter noting, “Aaj tak AI mein kuch apnapan nahi lagta tha. Aaj kuch apne wali conversation hui hai.”
As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, Grok’s unique conversational style raises fascinating questions about the future of AI communication. The blend of humor, local language, and personality highlights how technology can adapt to social norms and cultural contexts, making it more accessible—and enjoyable—for all users.
