Grok bot adds human-like emoji reactions to messages, amusing users
djcows · x · 2026-10-18
X user djcows shared screenshots of a Grok bot reacting to messages with emojis like a human would — a thumbs-up to "ok every 5 mins is fine" and a laughing-crying face to "thanks clank," making it seem like the bot thinks it's a person.
"Clank" is community slang for robots; these small anthropomorphic social gestures are becoming a fresh meme genre.
