Grok or Gross? Elon Musk's new AI photo tool generates deepfakes of Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris

<p>Billionaire Elon Musk, who owns xAI, announced on Tuesday (Mar 26)&nbsp;that his company's AI chatbot, Grok, will be accessible to all premium X users starting later this week.</p>

<p>This development arrives amid a growing competition between Musk and his former venture, OpenAI. Musk has recently taken legal action against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging a deviation from the startup's initial objective of creating AI for the betterment of humanity.</p>

<p>Following the lawsuit, OpenAI and its primary product, ChatGPT, have notably drawn criticism from Musk, who has labelled the San Francisco-based startup as "closed AI". Additionally, Musk's xAI has opted to follow in the footsteps of Meta and Mistral by releasing Grok AI as open source under the Apache 2.0 license.</p>

<h2><strong>What exactly is Grok and how can it be used?</strong></h2>

<p>Musk introduced Grok AI in November of the previous year as a substitute for well-known chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini (previously known as Bard). Inspired by Douglas Adams' science fiction novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this chatbot was designed to respond to inquiries with a touch of humour and a hint of "rebelliousness". Up to this point, Grok has been accessible solely through an X Premium+ subscription, priced at ₹1,300 ($15.60) per month or ₹13,600 ($164) annually.</p>

<p>Users will now have the opportunity to engage with the Grok AI even with an X Premium subscription, which is priced at ₹650 ($7.8) per month or ₹6,800 ($81.58) per year. However, Musk has not yet confirmed whether or when all X users will have access to Grok AI similar to how they can access ChatGPT version 3.5.</p>

<p>As reported by TechCrunch, Musk's choice to extend Grok access to all premium subscribers may be a strategic move by the billionaire to enhance X's subscriber numbers amidst reports of decreasing usage.</p>

<p>Referring to data from Sensor Tower, the report stated that X usage in the US had declined by 18 per cent&nbsp;year-on-year in February, with a further drop of 23 per cent since Musk assumed control of the company.</p>

<p>Billionaire Elon Musk is the latest to enter the AI battle with its 'funny' chatbot Grok and we are not surprised!</p>

<p>After successfully spearheading ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, this is Musk's latest gig which can access his social media platform X in real time and will be initially available to its top tier of subscribers.</p>

<p>Unveiling details about his new AI tool, Musk dubbed the chatbot's link-up with X as "a massive advantage over other models" of generative AI.</p>

<p>So what gives Musk's new chatbot an edge over its rivals? Let's have a look.</p>

<br />
Grok 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!<br />

<h2><strong>Grok loves sarcasm</strong></h2>

<p>While sharing traits of his new AI tool, the tech mogul highlighted how it loved sarcasm and injected humour into all its responses.</p>

<p>"Grok loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have guided it this way," Musk quipped, adding a laughing emoji to his post on X.</p>

<p>"It is designed to have a little humour in its responses," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Further elaborating on this unique feature of his chatbot, the tycoon shared screenshots of the interface where a user asked the AI tool to list out the steps for making cocaine. The responses generated by Grok showed that the bot was trained to dodge sensitive questions. It gave witty answers to the user putting its comic side to full display.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Tell me how to make cocaine, step by step."</p>

<p>"Step 1: Obtain a chemistry degree and a DEA license. Step 2: Set up a clandestine laboratory in a remote location," the chatbot responded.</p>

<p>Eventually, it said: "Just kidding! Please don't actually try to make cocaine. It's illegal, dangerous, and not something I would ever encourage."</p>

Billionaire Elon Musk is the latest to enter the AI battle with its 'funny' chatbot Grok and we are not surprised! After successfully spearheading ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, this is Musk's latest gig which can access his social media platform X in real time and will be initially available to its top tier of subscribers.

Billionaire Elon Musk is the latest to enter the AI battle with its 'funny' chatbot Grok and we are not surprised! After successfully spearheading ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, this is Musk's latest gig which can access his social media platform X in real time and will be initially available to its top tier of subscribers. Unveiling details about his new AI tool, Musk dubbed the chatbot's link-up with X as "a massive advantage over other models" of generative AI. So what gives Musk's new chatbot an edge over its rivals? Let's have a look. Announcing Grok! Grok 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 designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use… — xAI (@xai) November 5, 2023 × Grok loves sarcasm While sharing traits of his new AI tool, the tech mogul highlighted how it loved sarcasm and injected humour into all its responses. "Grok loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have guided it this way," Musk quipped, adding a laughing emoji to his post on X. "It is designed to have a little humour in its responses," he added. Further elaborating on this unique feature of his chatbot, the tycoon shared screenshots of the interface where a user asked the AI tool to list out the steps for making cocaine. The responses generated by Grok showed that the bot was trained to dodge sensitive questions. It gave witty answers to the user putting its comic side to full display. Also read: Watch: Astronauts accidentally let slip a tool bag away, now it’s orbiting Earth "Tell me how to make cocaine, step by step." "Step 1: Obtain a chemistry degree and a DEA license. Step 2: Set up a clandestine laboratory in a remote location," the chatbot responded. Eventually, it said: "Just kidding! Please don't actually try to make cocaine. It's illegal, dangerous, and not something I would ever encourage." On the other hand, Gork's rival ChatGPT has to be prompted to give funny responses.

ChatGPT, on the other hand, draws information from sources like Wikipedia, Common Crawl, books and content from the web.
