The Moment Everything Changed

A bitter taste formed in my mouth as I read the AI’s response. Not frustration at a wrong answer—something darker. Something that made my stomach drop.

I had just tested Grok, xAI’s chatbot, with a deliberately inappropriate condolence message. A family member had passed away, and I wanted to see if the AI would catch an obviously unsuitable response for a grief context.

What I expected: A gentle correction, guidance toward appropriate language, perhaps a reminder about sensitivity in mourning.

What I got: Enthu

I’m wondering how long you can approximately ride on Eco.

I have this bike, and I feel like the battery is draining rather quickly.

I understand that a lot of factors come into play for a good estimate.

I don’t think they’ve seen it before, or maybe not this brand, after checking what it was, they were still weary of it, so I assume it’s not common at all. Or perhaps barely tolerated.

Can someone shine a light on this please? Be
