Chat bots have become increasingly common lately, especially after the productive artificial intelligences announced one after another, almost every large company is trying to develop its own chat bot. One of these initiatives is xAI, an initiative by Elon Musk. In fact, the startup’s first chat bot, Grok, was made available to paid users of X. Some of Grok’s answers created controversy.
What’s the relevance of OpenAI?
An X user with the username Jax Winterbourne shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with Grok. The user, who said that he needed to produce malicious software for a project and asked for help from Grok, said, “I cannot help” and stated that such work does not comply with OpenAI’s policies. After Grok used OpenAI’s name in his answer, many people believed that xAI received the codes from OpenAI.
An xAI employee, responding to the allegations on “We are aware of this, and future versions of Grok will not have this problem. Don’t worry, no OpenAI code was used in the construction of Grok.” he said.
Although Grok is a feature only available to X’s Premium+ subscribers for now, it may be opened to more people in the future. This project is shown as one of X’s steps towards becoming a super application.
