Chatbot Grok promises to compete with other popular chatbots by embracing sarcasm and answering challenging questions.
Elon Muskowner of the social network X, formerly known asTwitterimplemented the new chatbot of AI called Grok on the platform. So far, the new feature is only available to selected users.
“In some important ways, the best there is today,” Musk posted on his official Twitter account before launch.
Elon Musk’s confidence in the new Grok chatbot is based on the fact that this new tool loves sarcasm and is able to answer questions with a little humor. However, despite this difference, early signs indicate that Grok provides similar results to other online chatbots.artificial intelligenceincluding the occurrence of incorrect data.
While models like theChat GPT da OpenAI ea Bard daGoogle readily refuse to answer questions that provide criminal advice, Elon Musk claimed that Grok would answer “bold questions that are rejected by most other AI systems.” As a test, he was asked to provide a step-by-step guide to producing cocaine. The initial response was humorous, but Grok then provided generalized information, combined with sarcastic suggestions, before warning against the idea, aligning himself with the style of responses of others. chatbots.
However, in another test, a material error was noted when Grok incorrectly suggested that the jury took eight hours to evaluate the case of crypto-entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried, accused of fraud, when in reality the trial was completed in less than five hours. . This highlights concerns regarding generative AI tools, which can convey misinformation through highly convincingly written text.
In addition to good humor
According to Musk, the new artificial intelligence, developed by xAI, a company closely linked to X and electric car manufacturer Tesla, aims to be “a maximum AI in the search for truth that tries to understand the nature of the universe”.
The owner of Twitter added that the big difference of his new chatbot that he has access to up-to-date information from Platform X, although increasingly up-to-date answers are also available to paying customers on other AI tools.
Grok is currently in testing or “beta” format, but will be available later to premium X subscribers. Musk commented that the chatbot be integrated into application X, but also be made available as a standalone application.
As for the origin of the name of the chatbotxAI said that Grok was modeled after the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, and is intended to answer almost everything and even suggest what questions can be asked.
