Elon Musk's xAI has made its Grok-2 chatbot available for free to all users of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), enhancing accessibility to advanced AI capabilities. While premium users will continue to enjoy exclusive features, the new Grok button integrated across the X timeline allows users to gain real-time insights and explore trending topics.
The Grok-2 chatbot introduces innovative functionalities such as web search and citations, enabling it to provide accurate, real-time answers by analyzing posts on X and the broader internet. This transparency feature enhances the reliability of AI-generated responses. Additionally, users can create personalized avatars through the new 'Draw Me' feature, reflecting AI-driven creativity.
As xAI rolls out these advancements, Elon Musk is also embroiled in a legal dispute with OpenAI, alleging misuse of his initial investment, further complicating the competitive landscape of AI technology.
