An Indian Institute of Technology Bombay sociology professor has asked the artificial-intelligence chatbot Grok, “Am I a Naxal?” The question followed his criticism of people supporting Doolla, according to the supplied headline and summary, which provide no further details about the dispute or Grok’s response.

An Indian Institute of Technology Bombay sociology professor has asked the artificial-intelligence chatbot Grok whether he is a Naxal, India Today reported. The question followed the professor’s reported challenge to people backing Doolla. The available material does not identify the professor, explain the dispute involving Doolla or describe the comments that prompted the exchange.

It also does not provide Grok’s answer. The supplied headline and summary only indicate that the professor asked the chatbot, “Am I a Naxal?” No further information was available about the context in which the question was posted, whether it appeared on a social-media platform or how the professor intended the exchange to be understood. The report therefore establishes the question and its broad connection to the professor’s criticism of Doolla-backers, but does not support additional conclusions about the allegation, the professor’s views or the chatbot’s assessment.
