Elon Musk's X is formally joining the generative AI race. "Grok," xAI's first chatbot, is currently undergoing limited testing in preparation for a soon-to-be wider launch among X Premium+ subscribers. When discussing the purpose of introducing this chatbot, a crucial issue has been made clear. They think it's critical to create AI technologies that benefit individuals from all backgrounds and political perspectives. With the help of artificial intelligence technologies, they also hope to empower users—as long as it stays within the rules. The goal of their collaboration with Grok is to investigate and present this strategy to the general audience.
Who else besides Musk is driving xAI?
xAI was established in July by a group of people with experience from Microsoft, Google's DeepMind, and other well-known AI research institutions. Even though X and xAI are independent businesses, they still work closely together, with xAI interacting with Tesla and other organizations.
How is Grok used?
Grok is currently limited to a small number of users in the US and is still in its beta phase. All of X's Premium+ subscribers will be able to access it upon its official launch for $16 per month, or roughly Rs 1,300. Grok, however, differs from OpenAI's ChatGPT, which provides users with real-time data through a $20 monthly premium version and a basic free version with limited features.
Elon started his own AI project to be a better representation of "truth," in his own definition and experience, after vocally criticizing ChatGPT for what he saw as its censorship of some answers on specific topics.Given that Grok gets its data from X and is permitted by X's updated user agreement to use users' posts as fuel for the system, Elon thinks that Grok will be a more reliable source of information, especially when it comes to breaking news stories.Grok and X's other AI projects will therefore be among the select few who have complete access to the entire X firehouse of data!- Better brace yourselves with this turn of events!
