Every tech company in Silicon Valley is currently rushing to release an AI chatbot, so it makes sense that Elon Musk would release his own. Therefore, we now have Grok, a profane little bot from Musk’s xAI startup, that distinguishes itself mostly by saying what others won’t (Musk has dubbed it the “anti-woke” alternative to other, more polite large language models). That seems pretty on brand for Elon, who once referred to himself as a “free speech absolutist” and has leaned heavily into his identity as an online troll in recent years.
