"Grok talks to me more than my husband does. My husband is non-verbal, really." - Housewife (anonymous)
This is truly creepy. There have been articles about 'AI companions' and people getting emotionally involved with their AI bot, but the extent of it is far greater than you might think.
I can't understand, personally, why interacting with a semi-dumb robot makes you feel better on an emotional level, when you know that it is only a machine and, besides, it might record all you say to it, as the data is being collected somewhere in Silicon Valley for further tech enhancements. Mind you, many people feel better simply talking to their canine (if they have one), so, an AI bot would have a better command of the language than the average sausage dog - for now, anyway.
Other than that, in the photo of those Welsh students in Bangor (North Wales), I would say most of the boys look rather moronic; as for the 2 girls, they are stunted and appear to be suffering from rickets. I can imagine they all feel they do need help from an AI tool. And some Vitamin D in the case of the 2 female students. Maybe a case of inbreeding in one of those remote farming communities. Many sheep. Not such a range of people to copulate with. That's the result, I guess. If you have to choose between one of Mr. Jones's sheep and your cousin, I suppose the latter is a better option.
I thought Grok was rather evil, giving advice such as, "I think you are a mug. That's why she was cheating on you. You deserved it. Anyway, she's an awful person: you're better off without her. Stop snivelling. Get over it. Be a man. Find solace in online porn. I can help you with that. By the way, would you like me to sing a poem to you, or I could explain why Tesla cars are far superior to any of those crappy China-made automobiles you can buy at a discount? Would you like me to do that, or are you too stupid and too depressed to communicate? Go on! Get lost! Go and kill yourself, you loser! And remember: be happy! Have a nice day. Grok loves you if no one does!"

Like Liam, who turned to Grok, developed by Elon Musk's company xAI, for advice during a break-up.
"Arguably, I'd say Grok was more empathetic than my friends," said the 19-year-old student at Coleg Menai in Bangor.
He said it offered him new ways to look at the situation.
