Elon Musk says xAI and Grok have to succeed
Elon Musk posted a tweet to remind his hundreds of millions of followers that training an unawakened AI is vitally important to the future of humanity. For this reason, his tweet states, it is crucial that xAI and its Grok AI chatbot succeed.
The tweet also contains an image of the Knights of the Round Table, where King Arthur is registered as “ChatGPT” and a knight to his right is the AI created by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta.
In a recent public talk, Musk also addressed the question of the future of AI. He then stated that it is vitally important to train AI to seek the truth and be as curious as possible; In this case, it is likely to foster humanity in the future. The tech mogul believes AI should be taught to tell the truth, even if it is politically or socially incorrect. He referred to the famous science fiction movie “2001: A Space Odyssey,” where the AI named Hal eventually killed the astronaut crew.
Overall, Musk stated that as the years go by, the percentage of biological intelligence will continue to fall and the percentage of artificial intelligence will grow.
Erik Voorhees: Grok remains closed source
Crypto exchange ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees responded to Musk and shared his opinion on his Grok chatbot, which Musk launched with the help of xAI to oppose OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Voorhees believes Grok “is still centralized and closed source.” He suggested using Venice AI as a “better option.”
At the end of February, Musk announced an upcoming update for his artificial intelligence product: the release of version Grok 1.5. He later emphasized during an X Space that “all code and data is open source” and that anyone can verify Grok for themselves.
Bitcoin advocate Jeff Kirdeikis responded to Voorhees that he had tried Venice AI, but that it “unfortunately did no better when asked about many controversial topics.”
