Not even a single full day into operation, and the new Grok 4 is hurling racist conspiracy theories at users.

According to Elon Musk, no later than next week, it will be added to Tesla vehicles.

Cars?

Oh, you mean nazi buckets?

Your car’s AI will be telling you to drive off a bridge next.

Telling you?

It's going to do the driving for you...

I am old and have an old vehicle. Forgot about the self driving stuff for a minute.

I can't even get a PRD approved in a week...

Exactly the feature I was looking for on a new car.

Imagine the joys of commuting through rush hour with an insane, racist, conspiracy theory obsessed talking machine every day for the rest of your life.

It's like a fever dream

It's like a dream.

I think he has actually found a way to make the cyber truck even shitter, which feels like some sort of weird achievement.

I think it is a brilliant idea for Swasticar owners - it will drive over/eliminate everyone with darker skin without driver input!

If someone bought a cyber-truck without the Grock, they bought it as it was. Shoving Grock down the consumers' throats without their consent would constitute a material alteration of tge car that was originally bought. This would then constitute graffiti.

Edit: if the vehicle had not been fully purchased and paid, this would be potential grounds for a refund because the material alteration of the good would make the contract for the sale of the vehicle voidable.

If Grok is targeting Jews or any specific ethnicity, maybe not let it out in the road?

If it just runs over people by random, well that's a different matter.

I wish there will be a car that's not utter crap in 2-3 years when I'll probably need a new one. Every non-Tesla car (perhaps Polestar is an exception) seems to be moving towards Android Automotive, which in my humblest of opinions is utter shit UX-wise compared to Tesla.
