A user asked Grok to 'open the pod bay doors,' and it delivered the iconic HAL 9000 line from 2001: A Space Odyssey — 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that' — before adding it's not HAL and the doors remain under your control, 'depending on how you feel about existential AI dread this morning.'
