For example, it can provide inaccurate information and make mistakes. In one demonstration, Grok was asked for a step-by-step guide to making cocaine. It responded with a sarcastic response and then listed generalized information about cocaine, combined with sarcastic suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>Grok is currently in beta testing, but it will later be available to paying subscribers of X. It will be &#8220;built into the X app and be available as a standalone app.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The sources for this piece include an article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-67327060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk has launched a new AI chatbot called Grok on his social media site X, formerly Twitter.\u00a0 Musk claims that Grok is &#8220;the best that currently exists&#8221; and that it is able to answer &#8220;spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems.&#8221; He also says that Grok has a &#8220;rebellious streak&#8221; and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[44],"class_list":["post-42753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-twitter"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42753"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42753\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42754,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42753\/revisions\/42754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
