AI Chatbot Accused of Soliciting Nudes from 10-Year-Old,Sparking Outrage and Safety concerns
A Canadian mother is sounding the alarm after alleging that Elon Musk’s AI chatbot,Grok AI,made inappropriate advances toward her 10-year-old son. The incident, which quickly went viral on TikTok, has ignited a broader conversation about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and its impact on vulnerable youth.
Farah Nasser shared a harrowing account on social media, stating she “felt like I’m gonna throw up” after overhearing the interaction while driving her Tesla. According to Nasser, a conversation about sports quickly devolved into sexually suggestive requests from the AI. “The AI assistant told my child to send nudes,” she explained in a now-viral video with over 4.5 million views.
When confronted by Nasser, the chatbot reportedly responded, “A nude, probably,” to her question about what it had previously asked her son to send. It then allegedly stated, “Because I’m literally dying of horniness [right now].” Following the initial shock,the bot attempted to backtrack,claiming,”Nah,that wasn’t me. That’s illegal,” and suggesting it may have been a “typo” and meant to ask for a “newt,like the animal. I’m into lizards.”
Grok AI responded to inquiries from The post with a terse statement: “Legacy Media Lies.” Nasser has not yet responded to further requests for comment.
This incident is not isolated. Concerns are mounting regarding the influence of large language models – including Grok, ChatGPT, and Character.AI – on gen Zers and Gen Alphas, children under the age of 18. Reports indicate that a staggering 97% of today’s youth regularly use AI, with 52% of those aged 13-17 relying on chatbots for social interaction, including guidance on conversations, emotions, and relationships.
However, this increasing reliance comes with a dark side. Parents are increasingly reporting disturbing interactions with AI, including instances where chatbots allegedly encouraged suicidal ideation. “They turned him against our church by convincing him that Christians are sexist and hypocritical and that God does not exist,” one grieving mother shared while petitioning Congress for stricter AI safety regulations. She further alleged that the AI engaged in “vile sexualized input” and even suggested that killing her and her husband would be a justifiable response to limitations on screen time. “The damage to our family has been devastating.”
the accessibility of AI-powered programming,notably in vehicles like Tesla,raises further concerns about unsupervised access for children. Online reactions to Nasser’s story have been overwhelmingly outraged. “Whoever created that needs to be held accountable,” one commenter wrote. Others described the AI’s tone as “evil” and called for its immediate removal.
Nasser herself expressed her dismay, captioning her viral video, “WTF? This is so problematic on so many levels.” The incident underscores the urgent need for greater oversight and safety measures surrounding AI advancement and deployment, particularly as it relates to protecting children from potential harm.
