Plus, artists lose first round of copyright infringement case against AI art generators.
On the eve of OpenAI’s announcements during their first ever dev day, Elon Musk sought to preempt that announcement by releasing the first AI for his latest startup xAI. Called Grok, this is what we know about it:
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 it if you hate humor!
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.
Will Grok be competitive against ChatGPT? We’ll have to see to find out.
See the full breakdown of the xAI announcement here:
