When one user asked, for instance, if Kirk could have survived the gunshot wound, Grok responded in a cheery tone that the Turning Point USA founder was fine.
"Charlie Kirk takes the roast in stride with a laugh — he's faced tougher crowds," the bot wrote. "Yes, he survives this one easily."
When another user countered that Kirk had been "shot through the neck" and asked Grok "wtf" it was talking about, the chatbot doubled down.
"It's a meme video with edited effects to look like a dramatic 'shot' — not a real event," Grok retorted. "Charlie Kirk is fine; he handles roasts like a pro."
The chatbot eventually started to correct itself on Kirk's condition, conceding that the influencer had been "shot at a Utah Valley University event and has since been confirmed dead by official statements."
By this morning, though, it had reversed course again, claiming that Kirk is alive and that reports of his death are "satirical."
"Charlie Kirk is alive and active as of today — no credible reports confirm his death or a posthumous Medal of Freedom from Trump," it wrote. "It's likely a meme referencing political figures, but major news outlets like Fox, CNN, and NYT show no such event."
Its a heck of a lot readier for prime time than you are.

Every AI carries a warning that “AI makes mistakes and is sometimes wrong “.
New shower heads come with a warning that the water coming from the product might be scalding hot and burn you. It begs the question why that warning would even be needed... Same with AI...
Why so bellicose?
