What is Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot and how does it work?


Elon Musk's X offers a chatbot called Grok that's along the lines of OpenAI's ChatGPT. But it has a mean streak. Here's all you need to know.

Ask it “What’s happening in AI today?” and Grok will piece together a response from very recent headlines, while ChatGPT, by contrast, will provide only vague answers that reflect the limits of its training data (and filters on its web access). But xAI has previously said that its intention is to enhance the underlying model to these modalities, and Musk has pledged to add art generation capabilities to Grok along the lines of those currently offered by ChatGPT. With fun mode enabled, Grok adopts a more edgy, editorialized voice — inspired apparently by Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
