Elon Musk’s AI “Grok” Draws Attention
Elon Musk’s new artificial intelligence system, Grok, has caught the eye of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. Altman compared Grok’s humor to that of a grandpa and criticized its comedic abilities on social media.
In response, Musk, claiming it was Grok’s doing, joined in with a humorous tweet but quickly turned it into a machine diatribe. This public exchange between CEOs may lack nuance but adds to the general weirdness of the situation.
Altman and Musk have a history at OpenAI, where Musk was a co-founder before leaving the company. After OpenAI’s success with its GPT-3 and GPT-4 LLM models, Musk unveiled Grok, an AI fine-tuned for generating humorous texts akin to “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
The Battle of Chatbots
Musk claims that Grok is funnier than OpenAI’s GPT-4, although there are no standardized benchmarks for comparing them. While OpenAI has published research papers on ChatGPT’s abilities, X has not provided similar details about Grok.
