Grokis a generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) chatbot developed by xAI. It was launched in November 2023 by Elon Musk as an initiative based on the large language model (LLM) of the same name. Grok has apps for iOS and Android and is integrated with Twitter and Tesla's Optimus robot.
The chatbot is named after the verb grok, coined by American author Robert A. Heinlein to describe a form of understanding.
The bot has generated various controversial responses, including conspiracy theories, praise of Adolf Hitler, antisemitism, and creating sexualized images of children. It has also referred to Musk's views when asked about controversial topics or difficult decisions. Updates since 2023 have shifted the bot politically rightward to provide conservative responses to user queries.
