Some context from the main X.ai page: > Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask! Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use it if you hate humor! A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform. It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems. Grok is still a very early beta product – the best we could do with 2 months of training – so expect it to improve rapidly with each passing week with your help. Haven't tried it because I refuse to pay for Twitter Premium but from the description it seems disappointingly gimmicky coming from a company backed by a billionaire that presumably wants to be taken seriously. Their "product" is a funny system prompt to some LLM hooked up to the Twitter search bar? Hopefully someone with Premium can prove me wrong :\

“Make sure it uses the ‘rofl’ emoji a lot. You know the one all the unfunniest people on the internet use to indicate they are trying to make a joke? A lot. Get it? Because this model will be funny :rofl:”

Sounds a lot like "electric cars will never work" and "private companies can't build orbital rockets".

  Sounds a lot like "we will have Full Self Driving by the end of the year (2016)"

      It's not by the end of 2016 and it's still in beta.

        Just another sensational announcement from Musk that will probably never fully work.

        "Ok SpaceX managed to launch a rocket, but they'll never land one!" EDIT: Oh, and could you provide a source to that 2016 deadline? I don't remember anything like that, but it might just be my memory.
