There will be many issues at first, but expect rapid improvement almost every day. Your feedback is much appreciated,” Musk posted.
He said that the company will expand Grok to all English language users soon. “Japanese is next priority (2nd biggest user base) and then hopefully all languages by early 2024,” said the X owner. Grok is a ChatGPT competitor developed by xAI, Musk’s AI startup. Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak.
