Elon unveils Grok, snarky edgelord AI model for X

X will shortly have its own generative AI model for premium subscribers. Its unique selling point appears to be snarky wrong answers that give you the run around and presenting information as if it’s coming from Tosh.0. Elon claims it’s the top performing AI model in some important non-specific metrics.

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
Wants to be a new Banking system, making its own AI, constantly making a new algorithm, hiring new staff after firing the old staff, and migrating to new servers despite the old ones being just fine. All while bleeding users and losing advertisers in droves due to abject stupidity and poor management.


I honestly can't figure out why Twitter is failing financially. 🤔

I think it’s a good move for him to develop his own AI company since he has enough resources to potentially compete with the big guns—OpenAI, Google, Meta, etc.

They haven’t had much time since xAI was founded though, so this is probably an open source model with at most some fine tuning and not groundbreaking tech, which is why he’s trying to differentiate it with a snark factor.

I don’t see it adding a lot of value to an X premium sub in its current form but it’s part of his convergence strategy long term.

I ain't gonna pay for it, but I'm still interested in seeing how the AI wars play out.

You have an unhealthy disdain for a guy who doesn't even know you exist and has done more in his lifetime than probably everyone on this forum.

Keep in mind that you can have any AI model do this. For example:

So, it's not necessary to do any R&D, just set an existing model to a snarky disposition with internal context (which you can do with ChatGPT in settings if you wish).

But we'll see how it stacks up to the competition generally when people get their hands on it.

Yeah ol' Musky really didn't read the room thinking his brand was going to enforce its version of open dialogue on twitter userbase.

Kind of a wet fart considering XAI was unveiled as "answering the questions of the universe", but I guess they have to start somewhere and LLM's are the hot commodity at the moment.

After listening to him on the latest Joe Rogan, I've come to the conclusion he's a massive self absorbed bellend, who thinks he knows everything. Dude needs to eat some massive humble pie asap
Even before he lost his status as world's coolest nerd/embodiment of tony stark, he was never very articulate or interesting to listen to IMO.

CharGPT seems to become more bland and dull every time I use it so I’m very interested in this.
AI in its current form is exactly what it needs to be: reductive in mundane and repetitive tasks. This whole snarky attitude persona bullshit is fucking cringy and has no real purpose other than "hey look I'm different guy, isn't my AI really cool?"

Why people want AI to comment on political topics, create porn fanfics or some other weird shit is bizzare. It is quite literally doing its actual job incredibly well, despite hiccups in factual/correct processing. Heck, I have saved countless hours feeding GPT Pro my work to then have it create varied responses that I couldn't have even thought about or done in a shorter space of time.

This is awesome.

I can hear the content neckbeards chortling as they starting submitting the data set commands. Premium subscribers are just itching to use this.
 
genuine question, since I don't follow the comedy scene that closely, but is Daniel Tosh/Tosh.0 still a thing? I remember back then he had a show on Comedy Central that's basically just what a lot of Youtubers do these days. watching videos and make some snarky remark or react to them. and I honestly had not heard his name for a long time. thou come to think of it, I think I might had seen his face on a billboard once before about him doing some show at a near by Indian casino.

ChatGPT and the other large corporate models are heavily compromised and censored, to the point where it's becoming a serious ethical problem for the most powerful technology to be so deeply distorted by the preferences of a few US corporations. So any work to come at AI from another angle is laudable.

His team isn't a joke, either... the list of AI engineers who moved over to xAI is substantial, drawing from all of the big movers of the past decade (Deepmind group, OpenAI, MS research, etc).

So, scoffing is a bit nonsensical here.

Yea I don't think x is going to allow pron stories..

For what it's worth, there are already a few competitors who permit fully uncensored models. One prominent example is NLPCloud, which is heavily privacy focused to its core, has zero terms of use or restrictions, and has its own powerful chat model (not on par with GPT4, but absolutely up there with the best models like 3.5, LLama2, etc). You can use those freely for pornographic stores, even through the API for monetized apps and they have no restrictions on what you could monetize. I don't know if anyone has built porn-story apps from it or not, but it's available.

This has to be the biggest technological boom since the internet. AI in general, not Elon’s “based” version.

Try to enjoy the next 6-36 months of our lives, cause Pandora’s box is only cracked open, and there will be no going back after this.

Looking at what the new gpt can do, and then Elon has ”my witty robot”.
The way AI chat is moving from competitors almost reminds me of how some 25+ years back toy makers Bandai and Tiger Electronics were warring: Tamagotchi vs. Gigapet. Someone could make something outta that.
