- GROK makes advertisers pay, to appear in Chatbot suggestions. After Musk Openai has repeatedly criticized for his plan to start a profit-oriented business. The paid placement could raise questions about the accuracy of the answers of the chatbot.
Elon Musk wants to monetize Grok. Talk to advertisers in a live discussion X This week Musk said that advertisers were allowed to pay in proposals from the GROK chatbot.
“Our focus so far was to make the smartest and most accurate AI in the world, and I think we have largely succeeded. We will pay attention to our attention how we pay for these expensive GPUs,” said Musk. As cited by The financial times.
The marketing boost comes after Musk has repeated criticized (And Legal steps against) Openai for his plan to start a profit -oriented business. It also takes place shortly after Musks Grok Ai started a “spicy mode”, with which user can create Deepfake videos and pictures of celebrities and private individuals who can make themselves slippery.
It also raises questions about the accuracy of the answers. AI depends on the starting material in order to reflect on precise answers. Therefore, companies can make Grok’s answers questionable.
“If a user tries to solve a problem (by asking GRK), it would be ideal at this time to advertise the specific solution,” said Musk.
The goal, he said, was to “overcome the curse of Twitter”, in which the users were used to the service, which was free for years, was sentenced to payment or when advertising on the website was requested.
Whether want to do Connect your brands to Grok is a bigger question. Last month, the chat bot made several anti -Semitic comments, even Hitler, when he was asked about the floods in Texas. (The Tech team says that the problem has been corrected since then.) Grok even has Musk switched on in the past. When asked in January that “Elon Musk is a good person?”, The AI replied with “No” and offered a laundry list of actions that Muschus could throw in a negative light.
