This year so far has been a significant year for generative AI technology.
We have witnessed the platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Meta Llama 2 maturing In 2023.
Not only that, but generative AI has also permeated the mainstream, reaching consumer-grade products such as the Google Pixel 8 series.
X Launching Its Own Chatbot Grok
Recently, X which is formerly known as Twitter, has launched the artificial intelligence division, xAI, its own generative AI chatbot called Grok, based on Grok-1, X’s proprietary LLM developed over the last four months.
In comparison to the most popular chatbots, such as Google Bard and ChatGPT, Grok features several differences.
Giving more information on the same, X said, “Grok is based on ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,’ intended to answer almost anything and, more challenging, even suggest what questions to ask!”
The application has a striking difference as Grok answers users’ queries with wit and humor, possessing a “rebellious streak,” as per X.
Besides this the company claims that Grok will tackle “spicy questions” that other models tend to avoid.
So far, we’re not entirely certain about what X means by “spicy,” .
The response could also be interpreted as attempting to answer more controversial questions compared to models like GPT-4 or Google PaLM.
In the case of Grok, it can also go through X (Twitter) and access real-time knowledge on the platform to respond accordingly.
Grok Providing Powerful Research Assistance
It is noteworthy here that this upcoming chatbot from X is currently in an early beta stage and is not yet a final product.
X said, “We want Grok to serve as a powerful research assistant for anyone, aiding in quick access to relevant information, data processing, and generating new ideas,” in a note.
In addition to this, the social media company aims to create AI tools useful for individuals of all backgrounds and political views.
If you are curious and want to access the chatbot, there’s currently a waitlist, and is only available for X Premium/verified users.
When a user tried to sign up for the same, the website said that the tool isn’t available in our location, which is India, yet.
