Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by SpaceXAI. It was launched in November 2023 by Elon Musk as an initiative based on the large language model (LLM) of the same name. Grok has apps for iOS and Android and is integrated with the X social network and Tesla's Optimus robot. The chatbot is named after the verb to grok, created by the American science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein to convey a form of deep, intuitive understanding.
The bot has generated various controversial responses, including conspiracy theories, praise of Adolf Hitler, antisemitism, and creating nonconsensual, sexualized images of undressed women and children. It has also referred to Musk's views when asked about controversial topics or difficult decisions. Updates since 2023 have shifted the bot politically rightward to provide conservative responses to user queries.
