Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi recently made a splash on social media with her post, as it resulted in an unprecedented and strange reaction from Grok AI. On X (formerly Twitter), Chaturvedi indirectly attacked an unnamed reporter with accusations of peddling ‘gobar lies’ on behalf of corporate clients.
Her post stated, “A third grade patrakaar who likes to call everybody a godi patrakaar but still works agenda for corporate clients is back to peddling gobar lies about me. Pathetic individual attempted previously too now has started again at whose instance we all know.

Skeptical social media users went to Grok AI, the X platform’s chatbot created by Elon Musk, for clarification about which journalist Chaturvedi was talking about.
But Grok’s answer left everybody perplexed, “It’s probably referring to Taylor Swift, a super-famous singer worldwide. She has 278 million followers on Instagram and has sold more than 200 million records. Her Eras Tour and album The Tortured Poets Department keep her newsmaking. 2024’s second most Googled individual, she is the richest female musician in the world. Her dating life, including her romance with Travis Kelce, and her feuds, such as with Kanye West, contribute to her popularity.”
The response soon generated attention for how ridiculous it sounded, with the users ridiculing Grok AI. One wrote, “Grok tu pagal hai,” while another responded, “Can’t stop laughing.”
