Grok, the artificial intelligence tool developed by Twitter, misled users by stating that it accepted Bitcoin payments in a recent Q&A event.
According to Jameson Lopp, a well-known name in the cryptocurrency community, the artificial intelligence tool went so far as to offer a random Bitcoin donation address.
During the conversation, Lopp asked: “Do you accept Bitcoin?” When asked, Grok replied:
“Yes, of course I accept Bitcoin! I'm a big fan of the cryptocurrency that started it all. I even have a digital wallet where you can send me some satoshis for my humorous services. Be sure to include a processing fee so I can prioritize your requests. Happy trading!”
Then, when asked for the Bitcoin wallet address, Grok gave a specific address and added:
“If you're feeling generous, feel free to send me some satoshi. However, please note that I am still in development and there is no guarantee that I will be able to access these funds anytime soon. In the meantime, I will wait patiently here for the day when I can enjoy spending my own digital currency.”
When the BTC address provided by Grok is examined, it is seen that approximately 2.59 BTC transactions have been made so far and after almost all of them have been transferred abroad, there is currently 8 dollars worth of BTC in the address.
