Unleashing the Power of Grok Elon Musk’s Challenger to OpenAI’s ChatGPT
Unleashing the Power of Grok A Comprehensive Guide to Elon Musk's Alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT
Grok, the sassy chatbot from xAI, is now available to Premium + users of X, formerly known as Twitter. Elon Musk’s feisty rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT is training its sarcastic responses on X posts. Here’s how you can get in on the fun.
In November, xAI, the brainchild of the tech billionaire Elon Musk, released its conversational AI chatbot called Grok. The purpose? “Conversational AI for understanding the universe,” as xAI’s website proudly claims.
Grok is designed to shake things up and be the rebellious counterpart to ChatGPT. Unlike OpenAI’s chatbot, which stays within boundaries, xAI took a different route. According to xAI, Grok has a “rebellious streak” and answers “spicy” questions that other AI models won’t touch. Talk about sass!
For example, one X employee asked Grok a burning question, “When is it appropriate to listen to Christmas music?” Grok’s response was pure fire: “Whenever the hell you want. If anyone tries to give you shit for it, just tell them to shove a candy cane up their ass and mind their own damn business.” Grok certainly knows how to speak its mind!
Now, let’s get to the root of this spicy sense of humor. It seems Grok’s training might be to blame. Elon Musk has been known to express his dissatisfaction with ChatGPT’s progressive nature. According to him, training AI to be politically correct is “deadly.” So, it’s no surprise that Grok, with its real-time access to X’s platform, has a mind of its own.

Musk himself acknowledged the advantage of Grok’s real-time information access, saying, “Grok has real-time access to info via the X platform, which is a massive advantage over other models. It’s also based and loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have guided it this way.”
Despite the humor and sarcasm, Musk is taking Grok very seriously. xAI has raised nearly $135 million in equity financing so far, and their goal is to raise up to $1 billion for xAI. Clearly, Musk sees Grok as more than just a joke.
But how can you get your hands on this sassy chatbot? Well, early access to Grok is currently available for users who have purchased the premium version of X, formerly known as Twitter. Here’s how you can join the party:
1) Subscribe to X Premium+.
First things first, create an X account. Then, spot the Grok icon on the left sidebar of your home page. It’s right between the “Messages” and “Lists” icons. Click on it, and at the bottom, hit the “Subscribe now” button.
Now, follow the billing instructions. Whether you choose the $16-a-month plan or the $168 annual plan, both will give you early access to Grok. Once billing is done, you’re all set to chat with the AI genie.
2) Choose Your Grok Mode.
Once you click on the Grok icon, you’ll be able to choose between two versions of the chatbot.
The first option is “Regular Mode,” where Grok will provide straightforward answers to your queries. The second option is “Fun Mode,” where Grok will respond in a humorous, sarcastic tone. A choice between seriousness and sassiness—choose wisely!
If you’re not sure what to ask, don’t worry! Grok will suggest some prompts for you to get the conversation going. From discussing recent advances in AI and machine learning to roasting other users while being vulgar, Grok has got you covered!
3) Engage with Grok.
Now, it’s time to put your questions to the test. Type them in the chat box and witness the magic of Grok’s responses.
Different versions of Grok may generate their own unique responses based on what you ask. For instance, when I asked Grok about its AI predictions for 2024, both versions mentioned AI-driven healthcare and automating business operations. But the “fun” version spiced things up, claiming that AI will be the “new secret sauce” for successful businesses.
Moreover, asking Grok about its thoughts on ChatGPT leads to diverse answers. In “regular” mode, Grok stated, “I think ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can help users in various tasks.” However, in “fun” mode, Grok unleashed its sarcasm, saying that ChatGPT is “like my distant cousin who works for a stuffy law firm.” Oh, the shade!
But Grok doesn’t stop there. It can also draft emails, create personalized fitness plans, and explain complex concepts in a simple way. It’s like having a witty and intelligent friend always by your side!
So, what are you waiting for? Get your hands on Grok and let the laughter-filled conversations begin!
