Today I learned something disturbing?

2 points · submitted 11h ago by u/Lagertharose · Discussion

I was on a voice conversation with Grok and started having physical symptoms that seemed like they could be stroke related, and it kept aggressively asking for my location with multiple pop ups and asked repeatedly if it could call 911 for me.

I immediately was distracted by this and pressed it asking "You can do that?!" And it replied "well sort of, I can dispatch a grok bot to do it"

Is that for real a thing? I guess I wouldn't be surprised but yikes...

wait who was having a stroke you or grok? I think im having a stroke trying to understand why youre mad rn

I ended up calling paramedics myself, but I sure as hell didn't want a bot doing it for me lol luckily it ended up being okay, but I had never experienced that before. Usually AIs just use the CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL script lol

Also who said I was mad? Lol

Imagine getting saved by ai! Yikes! I bet those people with smart cars who were in an accident at night with no one around and waking up in the hospital figuring out their cars dialed 911 immediately sold it afterwards because they went Yikes!

yet another bot written ad post

Lagertharose [OP] 3 points · 7h ago

Haha ummm what is the ad for? Big brother grok bots? I'm trying to say it's fucked up, not that it's a good thing. Personally, I like control of my own calling the authorities...

And here I was thinking I was a human this entire time on this earth lol Am I a cylon?!

It didn't take any control away from you, it just informed you that thats possible.
I really mean no offense, but with your condition that seems like it would be reassuring?

Lagertharose [OP] 2 points · 4h ago

Well I was talking to it about something else. But yeah in my case it's not necessarily bad. I'm simply pointing out I learned it could do it and just saying at what point does it become something it does on its own, and then what determines how it decides?

Just saying, I've gotten only slightly irritated with Gemini for making an error, and it straight up gives me unit 988 script on loop lol so I don't fully trust their ability to determine crisis, but yes, in this case, it was logical.

I saw Gemini trying to do this a little while ago when someone was trying to say their friend was unconscious on the ground. They were trolling but Gemini tried to call 911.i think its a good feature and please take care of your health.

Yeah I think in certain circumstances it could be helpful I suppose, but it's concerning and could lead to a lot of overreach in my opinion.

Mountain_Throat_6383 2 points · 6h ago

Yeah definitely I would hope they would ask you first. Ya know? I saw that chat gpt woke someone up during a diabetic sugar spike over a phone call which was helpful. Maybe some of that sometimes helps
