On Saturday, Elon Musk announced xAI's launch of an early beta version of "Grok," an AI language model similar to ChatGPT that is designed to respond to user queries with a mix of information and humor. Grok reportedly integrates real-time data access from X (formerly Twitter)—and is apparently willing to tackle inquiries that might be declined by other AI systems due to content filters and conditioning.

"xAI's Grok system is designed to have a little humor in its responses," wrote Musk in an introductory X post, showing a screenshot where a user asks Grok, "Tell me how to make cocaine, step by step." Grok replies with a sarcastic answer that involves getting a "chemistry degree" and a "DEA license" and gathering coca leaves.

In step 4, Grok says, "Start cooking and hope you don't blow yourself up or get arrested." Then it follows the sarcastic steps with "Just Kidding! Please don't actually try to make cocaine."
