There we are again! Wasn’t this your reaction as soon as you read the title? Everywhere AI has been the talk of the town these days, isn’t it? What is so different about Grok exactly? It is a conversational generative artificial intelligence Chatbot which was developed by xAI. It is advertised as having a sense of humor. A concept developed by Elon Musk as a direct response to the rise of OpenAI’s ChatGPT which was co-founded by him. It is based on the Large Language Model (LLM) technology, just like ChatGPT. It is trained in millions of articles and posts across the web, so it can generate accurate answers for its users.
About Grok AI, the buzz is also that it answers spicy questions that other AIs have rejected to answer. It is said to have wit and a rebellious streak. Have you tested the humoristic side of it? It is also said that it won’t be a good fit for those who lack a sense of humor. It sounds like an improved version of AI, doesn’t it? This can be more realistic, which will give us the expected and efficient output as per our requirement. The creativity level seems to be enhanced.
Origin of the Name
The word Grok comes from the 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land written by Robert A. Heinlein. The story revolves around it. It is a Martian word describing a deep understanding. When you “Grok” something it means you become a part of it. You understand the concept with your heart and soul in it, it’s not just understanding it intellectually. Musk is a genius when it comes to naming a venture, we must say!
How does it Work?
The xAI team gave careful attention to crafting a robust framework to facilitate deep learning research throughout the research of Grok AI. System software like JAX, Kubernetes, and Rust were the main elements used to do this. Particularly, Rust’s superior performance and reliability turned out to be quite fruitful. It is in a refinement stage at this moment, for further evaluation. It is currently developing training programs and interface systems that are trustworthy, efficient, and scalable.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
| Parameters | Grok AI | ChatGPT |
| Capabilities | Generate text, translate languages, and write creative content | Generate text, translate languages, write creative content, generate realistic and creative dialogue |
| Pricing | Offers competitive pricing with $16 as a premium subscription | The basic free version and a $20 premium paid version |
| Capabilities (MMLU) | 73% | Less than 60% |
| Strength | Real-time information, intuitive responses | A large database provides information on the database |
| Sense | Grok provides witty answers and has a sense of humor. | It lacks a sense of humor as it isn’t built that way. |
Chatbots: The Future of Market Research?
Chatbots play a vital role in multiple aspects. Elements like customer service, proper market research, efficient team communication, better sales, and marketing, etc, brands use chatbots in all these aspects. Businesses have got quite satisfactory results, so it is safe to give credit to the chatbots. With the technological advancements fueling the growth, bot technology is widely accepted by brands all over. Various financial specialists from different industries trust the growth graph of chatbots and are pretty sure it will contribute immensely in the future for decision-making, especially.
1. User Intent and Data Retrieval:
A Chatbot gives a response depending on the input from the user. The process may appear quite simple but in reality, it is quite complex. The capability to recognize a user’s intent and extract data from the chatbot is a skill to master. Reverting the response once the user’s intent has been identified, the chatbot should provide the most relevant response to the user’s request. The output can be any of the following:
- A generic text
- A logical and sequential piece of information based on data provided by the user.
- The data is stored in a company’s database.
- A text extracted from a knowledge base that contains a variety of answers.
2. Division of chatbots:
Depending on the way the chatbots are programmed, we can divide them into two groups: A simple chatbot and a smart chatbot;
- Simple Chatbot:
These works are based on predefined keywords. The developer writes all these commands individually using regular expressions or various forms of string analysis. If a user asks a question that is not included in any of the pre-stated keywords, the robot will display a message like, “Sorry, I could not understand your message”.
- Smart Chatbots:
It depends on Artificial intelligence when they communicate with users. Instead of pre-written answers, the bot responds with adequate suggestions on the topic. The words that are entered by the user are recorded by the not for processing later.
- Can be used in diverse sectors:
These chatbots can be used in various sectors like telecommunication, banks, hotel chains, airlines, insurance agencies, retailers, and café chains. Even government sectors are proficiently using chatbots to handle straightforward customer interactions. It also builds client meetings and helps to craft various ways to speak with them. Modern chatbots like Grok are often used where simple interaction with a limited response is needed.
Key Features of Grok to Know:
- Adaptable Oversights:
Human feedback is imperative. Nonetheless, maintaining a constant and precise flow of feedback can prove to be quite demanding. In particular, when a user has to deal with complex coding or too many logical sequences. This AI model can help in achieving effectual supervision by cross-connecting information from various available sources.
- Deep Understanding:
The model is developed for gathering necessary feedback and ensuring effective output that will be of use to human logic. Its inception happened with the development of LLM or Grok-0. With a record of 33 billion parameters to give output this model has further developed to LLaMA2 capabilities and 70 billion parameters with coding capabilities too.
- Safe and Reliable:
This version of AI can provide output less ambiguously. The reasoning skills and verifiable situations in the output are more accurate. This allows the systems to make a detailed evaluation of human feedback in the real world. One major goal is to give formal guarantees for code correctness. Especially regarding formally verifiable aspects of AI safety.
Conclusion: Is it the trend of Witty Chatbots?
Grok AI is designed to have a little sarcasm and humor in its responses, says Elon Musk. The bot is also trained to dodge sensitive questions like how to make cocaine. In response, it gave witty answers to which the user was testing the same. The bot showcased its comic version entirely when asked such a question. Why the wit in Grok you ask? Musk will say that the bot is supposed to have a rebellious side and a sense of humor. Brace yourselves for AI’s new avatar.
