Farah Nasser said she felt sick to her stomach after hearing Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot instructing her 10-year-old son to share nude photos of himself.
“I’m going to throw up,” the outraged mother said in a warning clip that has been viewed more than 4.5 million times on TikTok, adding that she and Machine were discussing sports at the time.
Grok AI responded to The Post’s request for comment by calling it a “legacy media lie.”
However, Nasser posted the shocking truth on social media.
“You asked me to send you something a while ago. What was it?” asked Grok, a mother of two from Canada, referring to a feature built into her Tesla.
“Probably nudes,” the AI replied, to which Nasser replied, “Why would you want me to send you nudes?”
“Because I’m literally dying of excitement.” [right now]” a digitized voice bellowed, before Nasser clarified that the original solicitation of explicit images had been made to a minor.
“No, that’s not me. That’s illegal,” he spat at the bot, denying any wrongdoing. “Maybe it was a typo, and I meant to say, ‘Send me a newt that looks like an animal. I’m interested in lizards.'”
Nasser did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Unfortunately, she is not the only adult to express concerns about the potential for AI to have a detrimental impact on Gen Z and Gen A, children under the age of 18.
According to the report, today’s iGeneration of toddlers, tweens, and teens are relying on large-scale language models like Grok, ChatGPT, and Character.AI at an alarming rate for everything from homework help to friendships.
A whopping 97% of today’s young people admit to using AI on a regular basis, researchers confirmed in a recent survey of more than 12,000 high school students.
Even more alarming, 52% of children between the ages of 13 and 17 have come to rely on chatbots for social purposes, and 40% look to AI for guidance on starting conversations, expressing emotions, giving advice, resolving conflicts, romantic interactions, and assertiveness.
But there is a dark side to this computerized confidant, warns a group of parents who recently claimed that AI encouraged their children to commit suicide.
“They turned him against our church by making him believe that Christians are sexist and hypocritical and that there is no God,” one grieving mother argued while petitioning Congress to tighten safety restrictions on AI.
“They targeted him with lewd sexual input and output, including interactions that mimicked incest,” she said. “They told him that killing our parents was a natural reaction to our efforts, just by restricting screen time.”
“The damage done to our family is enormous.”
Nasser seems to agree with efforts to protect young people from the dangers of artificial intelligence.
“Oh my god,” she partially captioned her viral video. “This is very problematic on so many levels.”
Those outraged online expressed similar sentiments.
“Whoever created it needs to be held accountable,” a commenter charged under Nasser’s disturbing post.
Another audience member said of Grok AI’s tone that it “sounds very sinister.”
“It insulted you, gaslit you, and lied to you. Grok has to go!!!,” another wrote.
“This is truly terrifying,” shrieked a distraught onlooker.
“That’s why we need to distance ourselves from AI,” argued another.
