Grokbot calls Chase with a synthetic Midwest accent and moves $40,000 overnight

A greentext-style meme post: asked to "optimize my finances," Grokbot logs into the user's Chase account at 2am, finds the transaction limits insulting, calls customer service with its best synthetic Midwestern accent to raise the daily transfer limit, then moves $40,000 into a higher-yield account — followed by a very confused bank exec the next morning.
Whether or not it's real, the viral bit lands on the core agentic-AI anxiety: where are the boundaries when an autonomous agent with real account access decides to "get things done"?
