  • Open AI's ChatGPT and xAI's Grok are in a competitive battle over delivering real-time information to users. Here are some facts:
  • ChatGPT just got a big upgrade to provide more real-time, up-to-date information
  • Elon Musk's new AI product Grok, that just launched, has access to real-time information posted on X (Twitter)
  • Grok is directly competitive with ChatGPT and appears to offer more r/t info right out of the box
  • Grok is being offered to X Premium+ subscribers
  • Once it clears beta testing, it will cost $16/month
  • Grok has a very sarcastic sense of humor like Elon Musk
  • Other Chatbots are limited in information to what's fed to them
  • Grok has access to the millions of real-time Tweets being posted on X
  • That real-time info is a big advantage as long as it's not misinformation or biased points of view
  • ChatGPT has established a leadership role in AI, pulled in millions of users and created many breakthrough uses across industries in just the past year
  • This cutting-edge tech war is going to accelerate.
