Unlike the rest, Musk developed an xAI team that designed a Chatbot called Grok which now has stunning new flavors and features. The AI is now capable of conversing in Hindi slang, throwing in desi insults to the users on X (formerly known as Twitter). Grok has set itself apart by adding a local twist to the English language with user-befitting phrases such as “Arre bhai!” and “chai peelo!.”
Why ‘Desi Avatar’ Of Grok Is Going Viral
Grok AI is certainly not an ordinary AI. Now, it is showing off its Hinglish (Hindi and English) skills, all because it was built to be witty, unfiltered, and based on sarcasm. Just imagine seeking professional guidance from Grok, only to be told:
“Bhaiya, IAS banne ka sapna hai? Pehle momos khilao, phir strategy bataunga!”
Grok’s followers are currently applauding its plain humor disguised as jugaad, something as routine as mocking a person’s internet connection speed.
“Stuck on 2G? By the time you reply, my UPI payment will expire.”
Even when most chatbots can be seen giving very simple robotic answers, Grok is certainly loving Chaotic AI. While responding to a user complaining about “You’re worse than my WhatsApp aunty forwards!” Grok replied:
“At least I don’t send ‘Good Morning’ pics with 100 emojis. You’re welcome.”
This type of attitude does not seem to be ideal, however it serves a greater purposeGroak is known for adding a little mix of strategy and Chaotic AI functionality. Users of X are posting screenshots and tagging their friends, challenging the AI to insult them.
Musk’s Masterplan: Grok as the “Not Boring” AI
Elon Musk has been very clear with his statements when he said, “If AI’s the future, it better speak your language—literally.” Grok’s Hindi update is a step in Musk’s attempt to shift the conversation towards making AI more understandable and relatable. With over 600M social media users in India, this strategy will undoubtedly help in capturing the fastest growing technology market in the world along with the attention of the genius Musk.
The Bigger Picture: AI That Understands You
Grok’s desi flair is not just about a few jests here and there but goes beyond to build a relationship. As Grok learns more and more of the pop culture and memes, it is able to crack them and makes the advanced tech more relatable and funny. One user tweeted,
“At last, an AI that gets “sutta break” along with my mother’s daant!”
