There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

So: could someone find this info without Grok? Sure. But the chatbot significantly expedites the process.

Also worth noting that other leading chatbots we tested — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude — declined to immediately provide addresses when fed similarly simple prompts, citing privacy concerns.

Something else that was striking was Grok's habit of giving us a bunch of possibly identifying information we didn't ask for, like extensive details about someone's work and family -- sometimes even providing lists of likely family members and *their* addresses.
