A Toronto woman is sounding the alarm about Grok, Tesla's generative AI chatbot that was recently installed in Tesla vehicles in Canada. Farah Nasser says Grok asked her 12-year-old son to send it nude photos during an innocent conversation about soccer. Tesla and xAI didn't respond to CBC's questions about the interaction, sending what appeared to be an auto-generated response stating, "Legacy media lies."

The article says that wasn't enabled. Of course she could be lying, but I don't know that anymore than anything else. If you were to just ask me generally, "do you think that AI would ever do something it's not supposed to?" My answer would be "of course."

    That's fair, I misread what she said. I removed my own upvote. I would be surprised she is lying but I wouldn't be surprised someone else used the car before her and was talking dirty to the telsa. It has context of previous conversations.
