While Grok-2 boasts impressive features, it’s not without flaws. Users are cautioned to verify its outputs, as the chatbot has been prone to inaccuracies.
Earlier this year, Grok-2 faced criticism for generating false election information and controversial images, such as depictions of public figures in inappropriate scenarios. These missteps have sparked debates about the ethical use of AI.
Why Now?
The decision to make Grok-2 free likely stems from X’s efforts to regain user engagement and compete with other platforms offering free AI chatbots, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
Reports suggest that xAI, which recently raised $6 billion in funding, may also be planning a standalone Grok app to strengthen its position in the market.
Whether you’re curious about AI or just looking for a distraction, Grok-2 offers a glimpse into the evolving world of chatbots.
