Hoskinson’s Prediction on Grok AI

Hoskinson’s prediction begins with the first wave of criticism, which revolves around Grok’s utility and value. He noted that critics may argue that the newly released protocol is the worst LLM (Large Language Model) and that it offers little to no value compared to existing models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Artificial Intelligence model, Bard. 

The second wave of criticism raised by Hoskinson will revolve around the potential threat that Grok AI may pose to democracy. The concern here is that if not properly aligned or controlled, Grok could be used to manipulate public opinion, spread disinformation, or amplify extremist views. 

Hoskinson’s third wave of criticism prediction hinges on the fact that Grok AI could be blamed for the rise of alt-right disinformation. This is a serious allegation, as it suggests that Grok could inadvertently fuel the spread of harmful and false information. 

In the final wave of potential criticism, Charles Hoskinson anticipates calls for banning Grok AI. This is a significant escalation of concern, as it suggests that controversies surrounding Grok may lead to a regulatory response. Notably, calls for banning AI technologies are not new, as they often arise when concerns about misuse, privacy, or security reach a critical point.

Elon Musk’s xAI Unveils the Grok Vision

Elon Musk and his AI startup xAI unveiled the Grok AI recently. The primary motivation for creating this AI chatbot, according to the firm, is to equip humanity with AI tools capable of assisting in research and innovation. Among other notable goals, Grok will compete with OpenAI and Google’s Bard in the chatbot terrain.

Grok AI is not just a serious information provider but also has a sense of humor and a bit of a rebellious streak. It’s capable of answering questions with wit and lightheartedness. This adds a unique and engaging dimension to the user experience, making Grok more relatable and enjoyable to interact with. 

Musk noted that Grok is available to X platform users through the X Premium Plus subscription, which costs $16 per month. However, it’s worth noting that Grok is currently only available to a select group of users in the United States.
