A new AI called Grok is now available on the social media platform X and is already making waves. It was developed by Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, and has been launched for X Premium Plus subscribers in the U.S. This subscription, which costs $16 per month, promises ad-free access to the popular social network. Early access will be given to long-time subscribers, with the rollout expected to be complete within the week.
Grok is not your average chatbot. It’s designed to answer questions conversationally, drawing from extensive knowledge to provide engaging and up-to-date responses. This innovative AI, residing in the X side menu, is powered by Grok-1, a unique generative model trained with data up to Q3 2023 and assisted by human feedback.
One of Grok’s groundbreaking features is its ability to incorporate real-time data from posts on X, enabling it to provide the most current information when responding to queries. Musk has hinted at Grok’s quirky and witty side, adding a rebellious streak, which seems to be true, judging by early user interactions. It even has a unique first-person narrative style, setting it apart from other, more traditional chatbots like Bard and ChatGPT. This bold and spontaneous approach earned Grok a reputation for being more entertaining, but whether that correlates with intelligence is yet to be determined.
