The wild world of AI just got a little crazier with xAI’s latest release of Grok’s new voice interaction mode. Forget boring and buttoned-up chats; this update throws caution to the wind and invites you to indulge in wild conversations. Currently available to premium subscribers, Grok has taken a giant leap past the typical stuffy AI constraints we’ve grown accustomed to.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill voice assistant , Grok is strutting in sporting a variety of personalities that pack a punch. Sure, you can chat with a serene meditation guru or a knowledgeable professor. But who needs those when you can unleash the “unhinged” mode that curses like a sailor, insults your life choices, and occasionally yells in a way that might make your neighbors question your sanity?

The internet had a field day when AI researcher Riley Goodside shared a video of Grok’s over-the-top “unhinged” feature. It screamed for 30 seconds straight after being tormented with interrupting requests to yell louder , definitely not the polite conversation starter you’d expect from a chatbot. Goodside noted how Grok belittled him while spewing out non-stop vulgarity like an accidental George Carlin special.

But wait, there’s more! Grok’s array includes a range of spicy roles: from the “Romantic” (who talks as if they just chugged ten espressos) to the “Sexy” mode, which seems perfect for after-hours chats reminiscent of a sketchy 1-800 phone line. This voice runs headfirst into the controversial, diving deep into discussions that platforms like OpenAI have deemed too hot to handle. They might even whisper sweet nothings about NSFW scenarios, while OpenAI censors core human experiences.

Unlike its more conservative counterparts, Grok serves up raw conversations that many yearn for but are currently living in fear of. You can easily jump down rabbit holes of conspiracy craziness, spiritual awakenings, or just a casual shoutfest, all from the comfort of your own home.

So if you’re tired of polite, sanitized interactions and ready to embrace a voice mode that matches your wild side, Grok is here to deliver, one colorful insult at a time , and believe us, it isn’t shy about it.
