Grok and the Art of AI Chatting: Mastering the Prompt for Effective Communication

Written by Onesimus Malatji

Narrated by Digital Voice Mike G

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Grok is a new AI chatbot created by Elon Musk's xAI, which aims to offer a unique AI experience by providing witty and logical answers to user queries. The name Grok is derived from Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel "Stranger in a Strange Land," where it means "to drink" but is generally understood as having deep empathy or intuition with something. The AI is designed to have a bit of wit, a rebellious streak, and a willingness to tackle controversial or "spicy" questions that other AI systems might avoid.

Grok is currently available to select X platform users in the US as part of the early access program. The company claims that Grok has surpassed "all other models in its compute class," including ChatGPT-3.5 and Inflection-1, but it is still outperformed by bots with larger data troves.

The goal of xAI is to build artificial intelligence that advances humanity's understanding of the universe. With a team of former employees from OpenAI, DeepMind, and other prominent organizations, xAI is actively hiring for various roles as it continues to develop its technology.

Reviews for Grok and the Art of AI Chatting

Do you want to learn about AI and how it will impact all of our lives? You should go read Amy Webb's The Big 9 and Ethan Mollick's Co-Intelligence.

AI is changing so fast that unless you're reading a "how-to" guide written in the last month, it's out of date.

This book answers the question "What do you get when you ask a bad AI system to write a book about itself and then copy and paste it into a manuscript?" Generic, vague and repetitive, It's about 3 times longer than it needs to be because it repeats the same points multiple times throughout each chapter. The problem is none of the points it repeats are particularly insightful or useful. The only fact I took away from this book was that Grok AI uses Twitter/X data to learn, which frankly is terrifying.
