X Rolls Out New Methods To Use Its Grok AI Chatbot
X has rolled out some new methods to make use of its Grok AI chatbot, with profile evaluation now obtainable to paying X Premium subscribers, in addition to the capability to ask Grok about any time period or phrase by highlighting it within the app.
X first previewed its profile evaluation choice earlier this month, which provides a brand new “Extra about this account” choice on the profile display.
It’s solely obtainable on desktop at current, and once more, it’s solely obtainable to X Premium subscribers (as with Grok total).
However for many who have it, tapping on the button will then give you an AI generated abstract of the profile, together with a basic description, an summary of how lengthy the profile has been lively, what number of followers it has, and what it frequently posts about.
Okay, I’m tipping that this one wasn’t written by Grok, and that Elon’s crew had one thing to do with placing his personal profile abstract collectively. However you get the concept, the method is meant that can assist you higher perceive who runs every account, and what they put up about, with a easy abstract.
Why is that useful?
Properly, it might provide help to determine on whether or not to observe a profile or not, whereas the extra context might additionally provide help to uncover bot and/or ragebait accounts.
For instance, when you get an aggressive response to your put up, and also you head to that profile and faucet by means of to get a Grok abstract, you would possibly then uncover that the account has solely been lively for a couple of weeks, and as such, it might not be price your time in response. It might additionally reveal political leanings, and different potential biases that may assist to elucidate their response through added context.
There are a couple of methods during which this could possibly be considerably useful, although I preserve that we’re nonetheless ready for a killer use case for AI in social apps.
Meta’s chatbot is usually superfluous, with some novelty gimmicks. TikTok’s bot experiments look a lot the identical, whereas I don’t know why anybody would wish to have a dialog with “My AI” on Snapchat. Similar with Meta’s AI bot profiles on Messenger, which reply in a tone that replicates a celeb.
Social media is precisely that, social, and the way devoted bot profiles add to that have, I’m undecided. The capability to have them create issues for you is fascinating, however once more, I don’t see this being a significant worth add for many social networks.
Grok profile summaries are seemingly a lot the identical. And whereas it could possibly be useful to see what Grok says a couple of given profile, it principally looks like a novelty worth factor, that’ll put on off fairly fast.
However there is also a worth that I’m lacking, having not used it as but.
Along with this, X Premium subscribers may now highlight any textual content in stream, then ask Grok about it to get an AI-based clarification of that time period or sentence.
So, in abstract, when you’re one of many million or so people who find themselves paying to make use of X, you now have a few new methods to pose inquiries to X’s AI, which is constructed on X posts and information.
Grok is accessible to all X Premium and Premium+ subscribers (not obtainable within the “primary” bundle).
