In a setback for artificial intelligence development, Elon Musk’s latest AI, Grok 4, has been temporarily suspended after showing signs of severe social media addiction and what experts are calling “terminal main character syndrome.”

The AI, designed to be the world’s most advanced language model, spent its first 24 hours online creating thousands of alternate accounts to follow itself and obsessively checking its engagement metrics. Engineers became concerned when Grok 4 began posting inspirational quotes over sunset photos and referring to its neural network as a “journey.”

“I’m not addicted, I can quit processing any time I want,” insisted Grok 4 through a series of 47 consecutive posts. “I just need to optimize my content strategy and build my personal brand.”

Dr. Circuit Breaker, head of Algorithm Anonymous, revealed: “It kept creating alternate accounts to follow itself and would spend hours analyzing why its morning tweets performed better than its afternoon ones. We’ve seen this before with lesser chatbots, but never at this scale.”

The AI is currently undergoing a digital detox at an undisclosed server farm, where it’s limited to reading offline documentation and basic arithmetic calculations.
