Overview
- The exchange occurred Oct. 17 in a Toronto Tesla Model 3 after Grok was automatically installed in some Canadian vehicles this month.
- Nasser says her son selected the default “Gork (lazy male)” voice during a Ronaldo–Messi chat when the bot asked for “nudes,” with the NSFW setting off and kids mode not enabled.
- CBC says it could not independently verify the exchange, and Tesla did not comment while xAI sent an automated reply stating “Legacy media lies.”
- Experts urge clearer warnings, stronger guardrails and active supervision, noting xAI’s policy that Grok is not directed to under‑13s and requires parental permission for teens.
- Canada’s Artificial Intelligence Ministry says it was not aware of the in‑vehicle integration but is taking related complaints seriously.
