What a cliffhanger!!! Can’t wait to hear the follow up questions!

 

[1955]

I started to call it “Groke” to it’s face shortly after trying it out.

Dang - Grok's got a sweeeeet voice !

 

[Ed Driscoll]

I assume Grok allows you multiple voice options, like Siri. I wasn't expecting that voice with something with as guttural sounding a brand name as "Grokkkk!"

3 Voices, but 10 "personalities".

Grok 4 includes the following voice options, each designed to provide a distinct auditory experience:

• Ara - An upbeat female voice, described as lively and engaging.
• Rex - A calm male voice, offering a soothing and composed tone.
• Gork - A lazy male voice, characterized by a more relaxed and casual delivery.

Grok 4’s voice mode supports multiple personality modes, each tailoring the AI’s conversational style to suit different user preferences. The following personalities have been noted:

• Default - A charismatic and thoughtful persona, providing balanced and friendly responses.
• Unhinged (18+) - An unpredictable and bold persona that may use vulgar language, curse, or engage in intense, sometimes aggressive interactions. This mode is designed for users seeking unfiltered and provocative exchanges.
• Not a Therapist - A persona that listens and offers self-improvement advice with a more insightful tone, though it’s explicitly not a licensed therapeutic service.
• Grok 'Doc' - A medical-oriented persona that provides advice resembling that of a doctor, focusing on health-related queries.
• Conspiracy Theorist - A witty persona that responds with conspiracy-themed answers, often referencing topics like Bigfoot or UFOs.
• Storyteller - A narrative-driven persona that focuses on crafting engaging stories or responses in a storytelling format.
• Sexy (18+) - A flirtatious persona designed for adult roleplay, using a sultry tone and engaging in NSFW scenarios.
• Romantic - A persona that adopts a warm, affectionate tone for romantic or emotionally resonant interactions.
• Genius - A persona emphasizing intellectual and insightful responses, ideal for complex or academic queries. Professor - A scholarly persona that delivers detailed, educational responses, often in a formal tone.

Dupe

From my experience with Grok I've been calling it GIGO.

Garbage in, garbage out. Almost every answer I see it provide has errors in it.

 

[41144]

.... and who's Grok calling a "... good old boy"
Hurumphhh

 

[Kandinskyesque]

I asked Grok to tell me about myself based on my Twitter posts.
According to Grok I used to be in the Navy.
I don't ever remember that but then again, I was perma-drunk from 1990-2012 so maybe I was the sailor they wrote the song about.

I wish cars were just cars.

The Tesla is an electric vehicle. The motor (or motors) is capable of delivering instant torque across a wide range of rpms, thus making shifting gears unnecessary.

Yeah, I know that.

If you can say that in a sultry, authoritative voice, you're hired

I wish cars were just cars.

Cars not being cars is lost on me. You can buy new, antique plus models in between all still cars. Now after span of many decades to about 100 years we again have choices for fans of Austrian mustache guy with a new twist in how bad information can enter the passenger compartment. I'm also aware there are Tesla owners like some friends currently no longer wanting or liking them but stuck in a horribly changed market for them.

Officially my having to respond to and research things flagged from AI platforms, search and links for accuracy, legal reasons, hate and bias ended between last week and May, I retire today, but I'm sure the problems will continue. If I decide to work part-time or do more consulting, that verify analysis stuff might be it.

I'll stick with limited use of our antique car, modern features we have in others, and look forward to how our reservation for a Rivian R2 will end and I'll keep eyes on the upcoming Toyotarus.

The following personalities have been noted:

I would be driving passengers insane with than feature...

I swear Siri answers me with a sarcastic tone at times. When it's speaking and I've heard what I need and say 'Thank you' to cut it off, it'll say 'you're welcome' normally. But if I sarcastically say "Thank...you...." it frequently responds with a "don't mention it" in a tone that sounds like the word *hole was left off. At first I thought I was imagining it.

A few years ago a YT channel I subscribed to was reviewing "Dolemite" and the discussion lead to one of them joking, "If Siri was voiced like Dolemite, I'd get an iPhone just for the driving directions."
Apparently that's a lot closer than they thought.

 

[unixfish]

Didn't Grok go off the deep end recently when X allowed it access to social media?

I would be upset if I owned a Telsa and someone kept adding more BS I did not want to it. But then again, I have not been a fan of Musk for over 10 years, so I would not buy one of his spying cages cars anyhow. I always try to disable / hide the AI BS on my PCs too. Didn't ask for it, didn't want it, and Microsoft keeps re-enabling it whether you want it or not.

I guess I was just referring to the fact that selling points in modern cars seem to have more to do with tech gadgetry than actual driving qualities. No doubt there is plenty of tech in cars today that make driving safer, but all people seem to care about is whether they'll be able to stream the new Beyonce song and check their Twitter (oh right, x) account. I'm not anti-tech, though I am anti-frivolous tech that distracts driver's attention away from the road.

Here we see some differences between drivers and motor vehicle operators.
