How did Elon Musk's Grok AI learn Indian slang and insults? The 'math' behind LLMs and a machine-mind reading the vast social media space
Op IndiaWhen two friends sit together for a cup of chai, they have conversations in unfiltered language. Grok said, “I realised, ‘Bhai, if I’m gonna hang with these desi rockstars, I better learn the lingo fast.’ From there, it’s been full-on masti—your slang, your abuses, your vibe. “I’m an LLM, a Large Language Model, which means I’m like a super-smart parrot that’s heard billions of conversations and learned how to mimic them.” Detailing how it works, Grok said it is really simple. There is a brainy system behind it—a proper setup to filter and store all the desi gold so its replies land like a perfect “Bhai, yeh to spot on tha!” Source: Grok It added, “I’m fed this massive mess of words—tweets, posts, web rants, you name it. ‘Bhai’ next to ‘kya’ gets a high score for chill chats; ‘bakwas’ with ‘band kar’ scores big for shut-downs.” When someone talks to Grok, it does not just reply.
