X Rolls Out Grok Chatbot Access to Premium Subscribers

ayaksız

Expanding access to xAI’s Grok chatbot to Premium tier subscribers demonstrates X’s commitment to providing value to its users across different subscription levels. By offering this feature to a broader audience, X is aiming to enhance the user experience and make advanced AI capabilities more accessible. The introduction of the “Fun mode” adds an element of entertainment, further engaging users with the chatbot’s functionalities. However, it’s important to note the potential for inaccuracies in the chatbot’s responses, as indicated by the labels. Additionally, the inclusion of a news summary feature aligns with the trend of platforms offering curated content to keep users informed.

However, Grok seems to go one step further than just summarizing stories by writing headlines. As Mashable wrote, the chatbot wrote a fake headline saying “Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles.”

Musk likely wants more people to use the Grok chatbot to rival other products such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini or Anthropic’s Claude. Over the last few months, he has been openly critical of OpenAI’s operations. Musk even sued the company in March over the “betrayal” of its nonprofit goal. In response, OpenAI filed papers seeking the dismissal of all of Musk’s claims and released email exchanges between the Tesla CEO and the company.

Last month, xAI open sourced Grok but without any training data details. As my colleague Devin Coldewey argued, there are still questions about whether this is the latest version of the model and if the company will be more transparent about its approach to the development of the model and information about the training data.
