Musk’s Newest AI Toy Sparks Excitement and Confusion
Elon Musk’s social network X has introduced Aurora, a new image generator integrated into its Grok assistant.
The feature emerged briefly on a Saturday, generating buzz among tech enthusiasts and leaving users curious about its capabilities and origins.
Photorealistic Peaks and Quirky Valleys
Aurora demonstrates impressive photorealistic abilities, capable of generating images of public figures and landscapes. However, the model isn’t without flaws, exhibiting occasional visual glitches like unnaturally blended objects and people missing fingers – a common challenge for AI image generators.
Free Access and Future Potential
The launch coincides X making Grok freely available to all users, allowing free accounts to generate up to 3 images daily.
This release follows xAI’s recent $6 billion funding round and hints at potential future developments in Musk’s AI ecosystem.
