Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, is being widely used in Pakistan on Twitter for its instant, often humorous responses to a wide range of questions, including politics, trolling, and social issues.

 

On July 6, a user named Sayyid Shoaib asked @grok in Urdu, “Who is the biggest liar on Pakistani YouTube?”

 

Grok replied that research shows that YouTuber Imran Riaz Khan spreads the most lies during political commentary, adding, "Multiple fact-checks have proven his videos and claims false, such as presenting old videos as new and propaganda… credible sources confirm it."

 

Grok AI excels at answering questions with real-time information from X (formerly Twitter) and a touch of humor. It's designed to be witty and engaging, even on controversial topics, and can access trending information to provide up-to-date responses.

 

Separately, on Tuesday, a local court in Islamabad ordered the blocking of 27 Pakistani YouTube channels, including Imran Riaz Khan, for “spreading fake, misleading and provocative” content against the country, state institutions, and officials.

 

As per the details, Judicial Magistrate Abbas Shah heard a petition by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), later issuing a written order directing YouTube’s officer-in-charge to block said channels.

 
According to the court order, the agency presented sufficient evidence to justify legal action. The judge noted that the inquiry, which began on June 2, revealed that the channels were involved in spreading anti-state content and violated the privacy and dignity of state officials.
