Musk’s AI Grok to Have ‘Unhinged Mode’ that Mimics Phone Sex

Covering this subject carries an inherent risk in losing all credibility regarding serious analysis of some of the most serious things – so be it. AI and AI platforms are certainly damned serious as everyone knows. We have covered a lot of material lately using Grok, Elon Musk’s iteration of open AI – it is free, it is really good, it gives us exactly what we need factually, and I don’t particularly care who owns it. Grok doesn’t care that it comes from Musk, the thing rips the guy as much as I ever could. But it is interesting that Grok, Musk’s service, is a little bit looser – kind of like Musk, but looser than the others, like ChatGPT, Open AI, or Deepseek (Just as examples) in that it has a Fun Mode, it can get a bit playful, it asks questions, and can even appear like it’s trying to be cool. Thus it is that this fancy algorithm is being designed to use its incredible language processing power to utilize, well – sex, to make money. It was only a matter of time, probably best for all of them to get in early.

There is that old quote about porn – equally true of phone sex, I guess – that says one can say whatever one wants about porn, “It works”. Fine. And that is how it is that so much of the net and now AI will be wrapped up in making money off sex someway somehow. It works. People will spend money on it, repeat over and over. From a report in Ars Technica:

But unlike ChatGPT, Grok offers several uncensored personalities users can choose from (currently expressed through the same default female voice), including an “unhinged” mode and one that will roleplay verbal sexual scenarios.

By default, “unhinged” mode curses, insults, and belittles the user non-stop using vulgar language. Other modes include “Storyteller” (which does what it sounds like), “Romantic” (which stammers and speaks in a slow, uncertain, and insecure way), “Meditation” (which can guide you through a meditation-like experience), “Conspiracy” (which likes to talk about conspiracy theories), and “Sexy” (marked as “18+” and acts almost like a 1-800 phone sex operator).

Wow. That’s quite the menu. One can easily envision someone picking “Sexy” mode for a while and then moving right on into “Meditation” only to wake up and talk Conspiracy theories. Again, AI’s use in the sex business was always just a matter of time and always dependent on which company would say, “Fck it, we’re all in… ” before the others. Name one man who, upon hearing about robots that would perfectly mimic a person, whose mind didn’t sort of somewhat drift for a couple of seconds to one tiny question before chased out of the head. Not. One.

So it’s not like we can or even want to rip Musk for this particular thing – that’s the next report. For now, it is just another development in a fast developing world. Do be sure that there will be privacy concerns that will reliably be ignored by plenty of people. AI is the next thing and in so many ways it might be the last thing – everything from that point forward will have AI built in or be designed in part by AI. There won’t be a topic that concerns humanity that it won’t master. Unfortunate phrase. Out on that.
