xAIs new Grok-2 chatbots bring AI image generation to X
It seems as if the safeguards on this new model will remain loose, with the sample generations in the release including “Jackie Chan in Donald Trump’s hairstyle” and “Elon Musk as a Ghibli character.” On Monday, xAI announced in a release that it has enhanced Grok’s image generation abilities with a new model, Aurora, trained on billions of examples from the internet to excel at photorealistic renditions and prompt fidelity. Since acquiring X, Elon Musk has been juicing up the platform with artificial intelligence (AI) using its Grok assistant offering. Over the past week, the platform gained a new AI image generator and expanded access to its AI chatbot. ChatGPT is easily the best-known generative AI chatbot in the world, but it offers different experiences depending on whether or not you pay for a premium LLM. The free ChatGPT runs on the GPT-3.5 model, while ChatGPT Plus and enterprise subscriptions have access to GPT-4.
