Adding to that list appears to be, uh, doxxing \u2014 yes, seriously, after the AI system appeared to reveal the exact home address of internet personality Dave Portnoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Over the weekend, the Barstool Sports founder posted an image of the front lawn of his Florida home, which had been mockingly vandalized as part of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/ncaa-football\/michigan\/news\/dave-portnoy-gets-hilariously-trolled-after-michigan-loss-ohio-state\/26f3bfb0451de1d6a709664f\" rel=\"nofollow\">ongoing beef<\/a> with Ohio State University football coach Ryan Day. The image contained no address, but it did include a glance at Portnoy\u2019s walrus mailbox, as well as some landscaping features.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\u201cWhoever vandalized my home is lucky Miss Peaches is too kind to bite,\u201d Portnoy wrote, referencing his adopted dog. \u201cThe rivalry giveth. The rivalry taketh away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">It was all in good fun. But when one user tagged Grok asking \u201cwhere is this at?? I love the mailbox,\u201d the chatbot was all too happy to oblige.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\u201cThat\u2019s Dave Portnoy\u2019s home at ***** ******** ******* in **********, Florida,\u201d Grok replied on November 29th. \u201cThe manatee mailbox fits the Keys vibe perfectly!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1190\" height=\"452\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/redact.jpg?strip=all&amp;quality=85&amp;w=1190\" alt=\"A screenshot of a conversation on X. One poster asks &quot;@Grok, where is this at? I love the mailbox.&quot; The AI chatbot Grok replies, &quot;That's Dave Portnoy's Home at [redacted], Florida. The manatee mailbox fits the Keys vibe perfectly!&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-406023\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">At the time of writing, Grok\u2019s post is still up. If X\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MattBinder\/status\/1703421367884910892?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">view metrics<\/a> are to be believed, over 1.3 million people have seen it so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Portnoy hasn\u2019t returned our request for comment, though a side-by-side look of the address Grok provided on Google Streetview seems to show the same yard uploaded on social media. Reporting by the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/real-estate\/luxury-homes\/dave-portnoy-barstool-florida-keys-home-97639208\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em> on Portnoy\u2019s recently-purchased $28 million Florida mansion likewise confirms the town.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">Depending who you ask, Portnoy\u2019s not exactly a lovable figure. He\u2019s been the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/06\/09\/nx-s1-5406410\/dave-portnoy-barstool-sports-manosphere\" rel=\"nofollow\">target of criticism<\/a> over remarks about race, women, labor unions, and sexual assault going back years. Sports reporters who\u2019ve covered Portnoy or his company, Barstool Sports, have been victims of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkusreviews.com\/book-reviews\/julie-dicaro\/sidelined-dicaro\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">vicious online harassment<\/a>, in some cases finding themselves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/2023\/02\/women-say-sex-with-dave-portnoy-was-violent-and-humiliating.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">doxxed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">So while nobody deserves to have their address leaked online, there\u2019s a certain<strong> <\/strong>degree of irony at play. Given Portnoy\u2019s own knack for high-profile controversy, one would think Grok \u2014 however it got his address \u2014 would take extra care <em>not<\/em> to blast it out to the masses online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">There\u2019s also the possibility that this is not the Barstool founder\u2019s home, in which case Grok just shared a random address to what seems like millions of people while claiming it was Dave Portnoy\u2019s. Either way, it\u2019s a mind-blowing thing for a chatbot to post \u2014 and vindication for anyone who criticized Musk for skipping out on <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/openai-anthropic-xai-grok-scandal\">Grok\u2019s safety features<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\"><strong>More on Grok: <\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/future-society\/grok-jewish-people-elon-musk\">Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk<br \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/future-society\/grok-dave-portnoy\">Grok Appears to Have Doxxed Dave Portnoy\u2019s Home Address<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/\">Futurism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk\u2019s chatbot Grok is known for many things: racism, antisemitism, and pedophilia, to name a few.
