So you’re telling me that Grok is so bad that they have to pay developers to integrate it? How backwards. People are willing to pay for Grok’s competitors.
Or is xAI paying for access to Telegram conversations to train Grok?
This is the reason. Telegram has data and users that can be fed to the AI and they know it. Grok is hungry.
Well it’s gonna learn to post crypto spam ads and swastikas then. Which come to think of it.. might be the point
What's funny is the flipside to it... Telgram is absolutely fucking full of furries so grok's gonna learn a shitload of gay leftist shit too.
to be fair, pretty much all ai is that bad these days :)
This is the real take away from all this. xAI is trying hard to keep up with the big-boys and has to pay a shit ton of money just to be in the game. xAI's revenue will be in the deep red for a long time at this rate.
