Now, xAI (formerly Twitter)'s artificial intelligence division has joined the trend by launching its own generative AI chatbot named GROK.

X Enters the Arena with GROK

X announced that GROK, inspired by ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,' is designed to provide answers to a wide range of inquiries and, intriguingly, even propose relevant questions.

Additionally, it is suggested that GROK is willing to address sensitive or contentious topics that other models like GPT-4 or Google PaLM might shy away from. Although the exact meaning of "spicy" is uncertain, it could be understood as an effort to cover more controversial inquiries.

X highlights that their goal for GROK is to be a valuable research assistant, assisting users in efficiently accessing relevant information, processing data, and generating fresh ideas. Moreover, the company aims to develop AI tools that are beneficial for people from diverse backgrounds and political
