How does Grok work? Beállítások

Grok is a new chatbot from Elon Musk’s AI company. Unless you’ve been living under a very large rock, you’ll have heard of popular AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google Bard. Grok uses the same large language model (LLM) technology that trains the AI by feeding it huge amounts of data found across the web. The idea is that the AI can then use this information to give accurate answers and useful responses to user queries. Given that he’s renamed Twitter as X, and even named one of his children X, you might expect Elon Musk’s AI to be called something inventive like xAI. It’s no real surprise to find that that is the name of his AI company, but the name of the AI chatbot is thankfully X-free, instead being called Grok.

If you haven’t read Robert A. Heinlein’s sci-fi classic Stranger in a Strange Land, then you’ll probably not have come across the word before. Although it’s never fully defined in the novel, it’s a word that the alien character of the novel uses because there’s no direct translation in English from his Martian language. However, the implication is that it means to understand something deeply. In this instance, Musk’s AI is probably called Grok because he wants people to know he’s read a book.

Like other AI chatbots, GroK AI is simple to use but can offer some incredibly powerful features. All you need to do to use Grok is type something into the chatbot, exactly as if you were chatting with a real person. Grok then uses what it’s learned from the huge sets of data that it’s examined to predict the most likely response to the given prompt. The upshot of this is that talking to an AI chatbot like Grok can feel like talking to a real person and can provide some impressive results. It can seem like you're talking to an intelligent consciousness, but this isn’t the case; the AI is simply finding the response that has the highest probability of being the appropriate one.
