Screenshots show xAI’s conversational AI assistant being developed for Premium Blue subscribers as an exclusive new benefit
Elon Musk’s Grok, the AI Revolution on Twitter’s Premium Blue
Leaked images provide the first glimpse of Elon Musk’s new AI chatbot, Grok, being integrated into Twitter’s new premium subscription offering.
The screenshots show Grok poised to launch soon on Twitter’s $8 per month Premium Blue tier. Users would interact with the bot like ChatGPT, typing questions and getting conversational responses.
Grok comes from Musk’s startup xAI and is described as having more personality and wit than rivals. It can also answer spicier questions shunned by other AIs.
Grok’s integration is a bold move despite OpenAI Turmoil
Significantly, Grok will leverage Twitter’s real-time information and web access to keep responses up-to-date.
Grok images emerge following weekend OpenAI turmoil, with its board abruptly firing then reconsidering CEO Sam Altman. It shows Musk pushing forward with his AI vision for Twitter amidst the industry drama.
By locking Grok behind the new paid tier, Musk aims to boost subscriptions with exclusive access to potentially best-in-class AI assistance.
The challenges and potential of Premium Blue’s exclusive AI assistance
But, major challenges remain in training such an AI responsibly and avoiding the pitfalls faced by digital assistants like Microsoft’s Tay in the past.
Still, Musk is charging ahead to carve out Twitter’s competitive position in the red-hot generative AI space. If Grok succeeds, Premium Blue may become a must-have for power tweeters and influencers.
