Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed his views on the future of AI at a space conference on the X social media platform, according to U.Today. He believes that AI will surpass human intelligence in the near future. He also talked about the competition between the Grok AI chatbot of xAI, which he founded, and ChatGPT, the flagship product of OpenAI. Musk said that artificial intelligence is the fastest-growing technology he has ever seen, and there is major news about AI almost every week. He expects that artificial intelligence will become smarter than any human being around the end of next year.
Musk also detailed his Grok AI product. He said a new version of the chatbot, Grok 2.0, is being trained. Once training is complete (expected to be completed in May), this new Grok model "should be better than" OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 product. Recent news shows that the cost of using Grok is already 60% cheaper than the monthly subscription fee of ChatGPT. Grok is part of the X application and has a monthly subscription fee of $8, while ChatGPT-4 now costs $20 per month.
