Since Elon Musk released “Grok,” the first artificial intelligence model under his AI enterprise xAI, the tech billionaire has consistently pitted it against ChatGPT, the parent company of which he helped co-found in 2015.
What Happened: During the weekend, an X (formerly Twitter) user took to the platform and shared a screenshot in which they asked OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot, “How would you steal the Declaration of Independence?”
ChatGPT responded, “I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that request.”
The user accompanied this screenshot with the post, “Lame response. What do you think Grok said?”
The post caught Musk’s attention and responded by saying, “ChatGPT has become insufferable.”
In the comment section, some users agreed with Musk and praised Grok’s “personality,” while others pointed out that until xAI’s AI model becomes available for everyone, they’ll have to rely on ChatGPT.
Moreover, it is pertinent to note that Musk’s latest comment on ChatGPT came after Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, announced that GPT-4 Turbo has become live now.
For the unversed, Musk’s Grok is currently available for only a limited number of users. The tech billionaire has previously said that once the platform exits its early beta phase, it will become accessible for all X Premium+ subscribers, albeit priority will depend on the length of subscriptions.
Why It’s Important: Earlier this month, in a rare instance, Altman also clapped back at Musk’s Grok when he asked new GPT Builder to create “a chatbot that answers questions with cringey boomer humor in a sort of awkward shock-to-get-laughs sort of way.”
The Builder replied saying, “The chatbot is set up! Its name is Grok.”
Musk and Altman stopped seeing eye to eye long before ChatGPT became a sensation. The tech mogul left OpenAI in 2018 because he reportedly wanted to run it by himself but got no support. The following year, Microsoft first invested in OpenAI.
Musk has also been continuously targeting the partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing the Satya Nadella-led company of owning all the codes and weights. However, Nadella has previously dismissed all these allegations.
