Online fan wars are a favourite pasttime of lakhs of Telugu youths. If you abuse a Telugu cinema superstar, you can be assured of anywhere from 10K to one lakh impressions on X. The scene is equally rewarding in other social media platforms.
Lately, on X, the AI chatbot Grok has been made a party to these ego-driven fan wars. Grok has been made to use expletives as well.
A movie buff asked Grok who between Ram Charan and Jr NTR is the main lead of RRR. Ostensibly, his intention was to prove it to Nandamuri fans that even AI regards Charan as the main hero of the Rajamouli directorial. Grok caught Mega fans unawares by picking Tarak, saying that Bheem's character arc is more central to the story of RRR. Jr NTR has been dubbed RRR's side hero by Mega fans.
Grok has been asked to comment on the acting skills of different actors. An anti-Mega fan asked Grok to troll Pawan Kalyan. Surprisingly, the AI chatbot ended up praising Power Star.
Gemini AI avoids commenting on political figures and doesn't give controversial takes. Same goes with ChatGPT. Grok, as a viral social media post said, is like a rowdy. If other platforms are Swathi Muthyam types, Grok is a bada$$.
