Elon Musk unveiled a wisecracking AI chatbot called Grok over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The new product from his artificial-intelligence startup, xAI, is \u201cmodeled after the Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy\u201d and \u201cis designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don\u2019t use it if you hate humor,\u201d the company said in a blog post announcing the launch Saturday night. \u201cIt will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems,\u201d xAI said.<\/p>\n

While not yet on the level of OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4, xAI hopes to quickly ramp up Grok\u2019s capabilities. \u201cGrok is still a very early beta product \u2014 the best we could do with 2 months of training \u2014 so expect it to improve rapidly with each passing week with your help,\u201d xAI said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh this is gonna be fun,\u201d Musk tweeted<\/a>, adding that Grok will be available for X Premium users<\/a> who pay a $16 a month subscription fee.<\/p>\n

Previously:<\/strong> Elon Musk on AI: \u2018There will come a point where no job is needed.\u2019<\/p>\n

XAi said Grok will access data from Musk\u2019s X \u2014 formerly Twitter \u2014 to provide \u201creal-time knowledge of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company warned that \u201cas with all the [large language models] trained on next-token prediction, our model can still generate false or contradictory information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, \u201cwe believe that AI holds immense potential for contributing significant scientific and economic value to society, so we will work towards developing reliable safeguards against catastrophic forms of malicious use,\u201d xAI said. \u201cWe believe in doing our utmost to ensure that AI remains a force for good.\u201d<\/p>\n
