Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of the X, showed off “Grok,” an AI chatbot with a sarcastic and funny sense of humor. Musk said this AI had a “rebellious streak” and got ideas from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
After testing, Musk’s X premium users will get Grok, which is like ChatGPT but not as good.
The AI robot was shown off a week after Musk said AI could be dangerous to people. Even though people are scared, Musk’s AI, Grok, has a fun side.
The fact that this chatbot can get information instantly through the app gives it a clear edger over other AI models. Musk wrote, “I have no idea who could have guided it this way.” It was also said that Grok likes humour.
Musk put up a picture of a robot asking for a “step-by-step” guide on how to make cocaine to show how fun Grok was. It replied funnily, “Get a degree in chemistry” and “Open a secret lab in a remote area.”
“I’m kidding!” the AI chatbot said. Do not make drugs. I never suggest it because it’s against the law and immoral for you.
Grok has not been launched yet because it is still in testing mode. Musk plans to give it to X Premium+ users.

Some facts about “Grok”
American science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein coined “Grok”, which means “to understand thoroughly and intuitively.” Grok, built by Musk’s new AI startup xAI, is reminiscent of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” in design. It aims to answer many problems with wit, mirroring Douglas Adams’ rebellious sci-fi comedy.
Grok-1, a considerable language model, powers the AI chatbot, according to the xAI team. Grok-1 outperformed GPT-3.5, the model used in ChatGPT’s free edition, in middle-school math tasks, according to a blog post.
It trails GPT-4, the most potent ChatGPT model. Grok-1 is only surpassed by models like GPT-4 with more training data and computational power, according to the xAI team.
Grok is now a prototype available to a limited number of US consumers, with plans to provide “new capabilities and features” in the coming months. An “early access program” gives X subscribers early access to the chatbot, according to Grok.

Musk cautiously approaches xAI
OpenAI’s co-founder, Elon Musk, left the business in 2018 over differences with its goals. In March, Musk backed a six-month break in developing robust AI systems due to concerns about rapid AI development.
In July 2023, he created xAI to build responsible AI systems. With xAI, Musk wanted to learn more about AI and its potential while maintaining safety.
Musk tweeted the following day, “Announcing the formation of @xAI to understand reality.” He is committed to exploring AI’s genuine potential and influence on society.
The morality and safety of AI have been debated since Elon Musk warned that AI will someday replace all human occupations.
