The tech world is in turmoil: Elon Musk has presented a mysterious "Grok" on his Twitter account. What initially looked like a new AI project is increasingly developing into a viral phenomenon. First "Grok" dance videos are already appearing on social networks, where people contort themselves in strange robot poses.
Experts are divided on whether "Grok" is actually an artificial intelligence or simply Musk's latest PR gag. "It could be anything - from a new language model to a marketing campaign for Tesla," suspects AI specialist Dr. Hans Müller. "Or Musk just wants to fool us again."
Meanwhile, first companies are planning to offer "Grok" workshops for their employees. "We don't want to miss the future," explains an HR manager. Whether this future is intelligent dialogue or uncontrolled hopping around remains to be seen.
