Grok vs. ChatGPT: Musk’s xAI Chatbot Shines in News Reporting
Elon Musk’s venture, xAI, has brought Grok into the limelight, challenging the narrative that dismissed it as a mere playful endeavor. Described as “rebellious” and equipped to tackle “spicy questions,” Grok was initially exclusive to a select group of beta users. However, Musk has now expanded access, offering it to anyone subscribing to a $16 per month premium plan on X.
Upon testing, Grok demonstrated a notable strength in real-time news summarization. In comparison to counterparts like ChatGPT and Bard running on the paid GPT-4 model, Grok provided concise and mostly accurate responses to inquiries about international climate change negotiations, the Israel-Hamas conflict, and OpenAI’s licensing agreements with publishers.
Grok outshone competitors by correctly stating that Saudi Arabia had committed to new goals at the recent COP28
