Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, xAI, kicked off the non-woke artificial intelligence bot movement over the weekend with the launch of “Grok.” The billionaire’s move is to take on OpenAI’s super-woke ChatGPT.
Musk said over the weekend Grok is “designed to have a little humor in its response” and has “real-time access to info via the 𝕏 platform, which is a massive advantage over other models.” He also said it’s “based & loves sarcasm.”
Compared to the Soviet-style censorship bot OpenAI has created, Grok’s answers are free of purple-haired AI trainers and produce different results. It’s also designed to answer “with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak,” according to xAI.
Grok has captured our attention for several reasons. First, it was launched right before OpenAI’s Dev Day (Oct. 6). Secondly, the announcement was delivered with a distinctly snarky tone. Thirdly, it took an explicit anti-woke stance. Fourthly, integrating the ‘free speech’ X platform allows it to scrape real-time data and distribution channels.
Meanwhile, corporate media and progressives are beginning to have meltdowns over the anti-woke bot.
Here’s what Bussiness Insider had to say:
Liberals at BI can’t handle cuss words?
Grok’s limited launch comes about a week after President Biden signed an ambitious executive order on AI safety. Washington’s goal might be to crush the counter-bot movement since their politically-aligned tech companies can’t censor non-approved narratives.
As for liberals, some will have panic attacks because Musk’s non-woke chatbot will jeopardize their ‘safe spaces’ protected by Big Tech and government censorship.
Queue the censorship-industrial complex to start pumping out nasty pieces about Musk and Grok – just like the leftist corporate media did when Meta’s Threads launched in the summer with headlines reading “Twitter Killer.” We all knew Threads would implode, which it did.
