Elon Musk’s xAI introduces Grok, a clever and unique AI chatbot with real-time insights, poised to compete with ChatGPT

Elon Musk’s xAI has released its first product, Grok, which is a new AI language model that offers real-time knowledge of the world via the X platform and answers spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems. Grok is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-5 language model, which is capable of generating human-like text. The chatbot is expected to be available on a variety of platforms, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. Elon Musk has stated that he hopes Grok will be able to help people with a wide range of tasks, from scheduling appointments to answering complex questions. 

So how does Grok measure against ChatGPT?

According to an article on MSN, Grok is designed to be different from other AI language models by providing real-time knowledge of the world via the X platform and answering spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems. It is also designed to bring humour and personality to what is an increasingly sanitized and censored form of communication. ChatGPT, on the other hand, offers balanced responses, mixing facts and opinions while following ethical norms. It is designed to be a more neutral and objective language model.
