Can the grok app give me links to malicious website

if so I'm screwed and also dumb cuz I've been clicking on the links that its been giving me for little over 2 weeks for shows or movies and for some reason I thought they were safe to click on but then I thought if it was wrong about the show I was asking about earlier then it probably could've been giving me malicious links to websites without knowing it and when I looked it up it appears that can happen but I'm not sure any of the stuff I briefly read is true

Unless you gave out personal information like login credentials, credit card information or other details that could be used to steal from you, just clicking on a link is unlikely to do anything bad to you or your iPhone.


Using Grok, on the other hand, is not something I would recommend. In addition to the hallucinations that all LLM AIs are prone to, it seems to be particularly prone to providing highly bigoted responses.

ok thanks and I would but it’s the only AI that almost unfiltered compared to something like ChatGPT which you have to jailbreak in order to get to do anything

If you are the sort of person who wants the AI they use to suggest illegal, immoral or violent actions, to say racist, anti-semitic things without having to try to hard, I guess it's the one for you. But let's call it what it is, not use weasel-words like "unfiltered."

When I meant unfiltered content I meant I use it to find info on nsfw content like anime or manga or info on new nsfw figures most other AI’s won’t even touch nsfw content or even give out websites let alone links to those sites unless u jailbreak them
