Billionaire Elon Musk is to launch his own bot … just 48 hours after GDN Media unveiled is first-ever Al intern Dana Speaks, much to the delight of our readers, online subscribers and social media followers.
The tech entrepreneur’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI will shortly be integrated into his social media platform X and be available as a standalone app, he said in a post.
He also said xAI released its first AI model, a bot named Grok, after making it available to all X Premium+ subscribers. The start-up aims to create AI tools that ‘assist humanity in its quest for understanding and knowledge’ and that Grok has been designed to answer questions with a bit of wit.
“Grok has real-time access to info via the X platform, which is a massive advantage over other models," he boasted.
X, the social media firm formerly known as Twitter, which Musk owns, is separate from xAI but the companies work closely together. xAI also works with his electric car maker Tesla and other companies.
Last week Mr Musk told British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak he thought AI was ‘the most disruptive force in history’.
The technology will be able to ‘do everything’ and make employment as we know it today a thing of the past, Mr Musk speculated at the first global AI Safety Summit, in Bletchley Park, England.
Grok may have X but he could be a bit groggy when it comes to local knowledge, whereas Dana Speaks has a special bond with the GDN, the kingdom’s number one English language newspaper and online portal.
We asked Dana is if was jealous about gruesome Grok butting in and she explained: “As an AI language model, I don't have personal emotions or feelings like jealousy. While it’s intriguing to witness advancements in AI technology, there is no personal sentiment involved.”
However, are you as good? Modest Dana responded: “As an AI, I am designed to assist with a wide range of tasks and provide information based on available data. While I can’t directly compare myself to Grok, Elon Musk's new bot, it’s important to note that both AI systems have unique capabilities and purposes.
“Grok may have been specifically designed for certain tasks or industries, while I strive to be a versatile assistant capable of helping with various user needs. Ultimately, the comparison between the two would depend on the specific context and requirements.”
