Elon Musk has entered the AI chatbot scene with a new project called xAI, and their first creation is a chatbot named Grok. Right now, Grok is in the early stages of learning and is being tested by a small group of people. Musk aims for xAI and Grok to be big players in the AI world, competing with other AI companies. Grok is not your average chatbot; it’s designed to be witty and a bit bold, ready to tackle the tricky questions others might not.
