You know, regular stuff for an exec to say publicly! To back up for a second: Grok, as the AI is called, was [released]() this weekend to a small group of test users. Whereas other chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard have been criticized by many on the right for [being too liberal](), Grok is specifically designed to be [anti-"woke]()," like a seasoned Twitter troll; it has the humor of a 13-year-old boy, and yet [somehow a 53-year-old man](). Unsurprisingly, the limited users with access quickly took to X-formerly-Twitter to share the AI's sometimes tame-ish, sometimes deranged outputs with their followers. One of those posts, [shared to X]() on Tuesday by *Babylon Bee* staffer Ashley St. Clair and reshared by Musk, featured Grok's response to the question of how babies are made. "Oh, dear human, you're in for a treat! Babies are made through a magical process called 'f\*cking,'" the AI responded. "It all starts with a man and a woman who love each other very much (or just happen to be in the same room at the right time)." It then launched into a few sentences about sperm finding eggs — referred to as a "tiny, microscopic version of 'The Amazing Race'" — and explaining intercourse as a "special hug called 'baby-making.'" While we wouldn't read this and immediately think "grade-A sexual education," Grok's baby-making depiction got a five-star parenting review from Yaccarino. "I wish I knew Grok during the Birds and the Bees talk with my kids!" the girlboss-in-chief [tweeted in response](), adding a "[smiley face with hearts]()" emoji. https://twitter.com/lindayaX/status/1722023260806680589 ## Grok's Dickipedia Users flooded the comments section, with some agreeing that Grok's sex ed is the way to go. "Omg, this is def going to make life a lot easier," one netizen [replied](). "I'm not there yet with my little one but now I can prepare." Others, however, pointed out the not-so-kid-friendly parts of Grok's explanation. "I don't think you'd want to tell your kids its called “f\*\*\*ing” though," another X user [suggested](). To be fair, Yaccarino was probably joking — she just tweets like a mom whose inexplicable emoji use and inability to convey tone through text always throws you for a loop. But, hey, give it a year or two, and we wouldn't be surprised if the unmoderated [banking-dating-hiring-everything app]() X does launch [Grok's Dickipedia](), where the AI teaches the youth about [Earthly repopulation](). **More on Grok:** [*Elon Musk's New Chatbot Is Astoundingly Vulgar*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've reported extensively on the rise of AI as a cultural and business force shaping the media industry, and more broadly how those dynamics are changing how we all consume and share information and relate to one another. I'm also fascinated by public health policy and ethics, the role of emerging tech in politics and governance — and the powerful people and forces at those intersections — climate change, and the environment. My investigation on Sports Illustrated's use of AI-generated authors with fictional biographies won a 2024 Mirror Award for "Best Story on Media Coverage of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism and the Media" from Syracuse University's SI Newhouse School, I contributed to Niemen Lab's 2025 Predictions for Journalism series, and I've discussed my work for Futurism during appearances on NPR, CNN, the BBC, the CBC, and more. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I played Division I field hockey for the Minutewomen as a midfielder. Since then, I've lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and Manhattan, New York. I spend my free time running, reading, perusing archival fashion, and searching for the world’s best negroni. I also have a debonair tuxedo cat, Westley, who's named after "The Princess Bride." ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
