Elon Musk Announces AI Chatbot ‘Grok’

After Microsoft’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, enters X Artificial Intelligence (X AI)’s Grok, backed by millionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Grok, according to a statement, is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, “so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask”.

Grok is said to be a “unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform”. It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems, the statement said.

Grok, a very early beta product at this stage, was developed with “the best we could do with 2 months of training” according to X (formerly Twitter), expect to improve rapidly with each passing week.

“We believe that it is important to design AI tools that are useful to people of all backgrounds and political views. We also want empower our users with our AI tools, subject to the law. Our goal with Grok is to explore and demonstrate this approach in public,” X AI team said in a statement.

“We want Grok to serve as a powerful research assistant for anyone, helping them to quickly access relevant information, process data, and come up with new ideas,” it added.
