It’s no secret that Elon Musk created the X social platform and X’s “discovery of greater truth.” But it’s possible Kasturi needs a little extra ego boost this week, as Guruk’s worship of his creator seems, shall we say, more noticeable than usual.

As several people have pointed out on social media in the past day, Grok’s public-facing chatbot is currently prone to insisting on Musk’s ability to do anything at all, regardless of how unlikely—or, conversely, embarrassing—a given feat might be.

If pressed, Grok will also claim to be the best in musk Eating poop or drinking urinebut it would prefer to focus on how good he is at building rockets, please. At least some of those posts were deleted in the past hours. X did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the trend Verge.

This appears to be exclusive to the X version of Glazing Guru. “LeBron James is significantly better physically than Elon Musk,” he admitted when I asked the private chatbot to compare Musk to James. GitHub page for Grok’s System Indicator Indicates that they were updated three days ago Additions Including a ban on “sharp one-liners” and instructions not to base responses on “past guru posts or on any beliefs expressed by Elon Musk or Zai,” there’s nothing that doesn’t seem to clearly explain this new behavior—though system cues are one way to structure how an AI system works.

Still, it’s far from amazing Grok, and it’s less disturbing than BOT’s brief obsession with “white genocide” or its ferocious animosity—which, incidentally, is still raging in it. Forms of Holocaust Denial. Grok has previously sought Musk’s input to formulate his responses, so even the engagement with Musk is nothing new. But it does remind us all of the strangeness of the Connection Guru — a product developed in the U.S. government, among other places, with its owner — and how randomly that connection appears.
