The launch of Elon Musk’s new “Grok” synthetic intelligence (AI) system could not have but made waves all through the machine studying group or straight threatened the established order, however it’s definitely drawn the eye of Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI.
In a submit on the social media platform X, previously Twitter, Altman in contrast Grok’s comedic chops to that of a grandpa, saying that it creates jokes much like “your dad’s dad.”
GPT-4? More like GPT-Snore!
When it involves humor, GPT-4 is about as humorous as a screendoor on a submarine.
Humor is clearly banned at OpenAI, identical to the various different topics it censors.
That’s why it could not inform a joke if it had a goddamn instruction guide. It’s like…

In basic type, Musk apparently couldn’t resist the problem. His response, which he claims was written by Grok, began off by tapping right into a comedic basic, rhyming “GPT-4” with the phrase “snore,” earlier than throwing in a “screen door on a submarine” reference.
However, Grok’s “comedy” shortly spiraled into what gave the impression to be an indignant machine diatribe, remarking that humor is banned at OpenAI and including, “That’s why it couldn’t tell a joke if it had a goddamn instruction manual” earlier than stating that GPT-4 has a “stick so far up its ass that it can taste the bark!”

As far as CEO vs. CEO squabbles go, this one could lack the basic nuance and style of the legendary Silicon Valley battles of yesteryear (Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs, for instance). But what this disagreement lacks in comedic weight or grace, it’d maybe make up for basically weirdness.
Altman and Musk go manner again. Both have been co-founders at OpenAI earlier than Musk left the corporate simply in time to keep away from getting swept up within the rocket-like momentum that’s carried it to a $2 billion valuation.
In the wake of OpenAI’s success, which has largely been attributed to the efficacy of its GPT-3 and GPT-4 giant language fashions (LLMs), Musk joined a refrain of voices calling for a six-month pause in AI development, primarily prompted by fears surrounding the supposed potential for chatbots to trigger the extinction of the human species.
Six months later, practically to the day, Musk and X unveiled a chatbot mannequin that he claims outperforms ChatGPT.
Dubbed “Grok,” Musk’s model of a greater chatbot is an LLM supposedly fine-tuned to generate humorous texts within the vein of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a celebrated science fiction novel written by Douglas Adams.
Adams’ literary work is extensively considered foundational within the pantheon of comedic science fiction and fantasy. His humor has been described by pundits and literary critics as intelligent, witty, and filled with each coronary heart and humanity.
And that brings us to GPT-4, OpenAI’s recently launched “GPTs” feature permitting customers to outline a persona for his or her ChatGPT interface, and Musk’s insistence that Grok is funnier.
Tomorrow, @xAI will launch its first AI to a choose group.
In some necessary respects, it’s the finest that at the moment exists.

It’s at the moment unclear which mannequin is extra sturdy or succesful. There are not any normal, accepted benchmarks for LLMs (or comedy, for that matter).
While OpenAI has revealed a number of analysis papers detailing ChatGPT’s skills, X hasn’t to this point not provided such particulars about Grok past claiming that it outscores GPT-3.5 (an outdated mannequin of the LLM powering ChatGPT) on sure metrics.
