Elon Musk has highlighted the capabilities of artificial intelligence software Grok Imagine by reposting an AI-generated clip of himself and 2Pac.
On Saturday (October 18), the SpaceX founder shared a fan-created visual that depicted him smoking and gaming alongside the late rapper. The six-second clip shows 2Pac lighting Musk's cigarette before one magically pops out of his mouth.
Throughout the day, Musk reshared videos that his followers made using new AI model Grok Imagine, which generates text prompts into realistic images and videos.
Throughout the advancement of AI videos over the past year, 2Pac's likeness has been utilized in countless viral posts, some showing the late legend with other deceased stars like Michael Jackson and Kobe Bryant.
Only recently have measures been taken to prevent the exploitation of certain late figures, namely civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose likeness can no longer be created on OpenAI app Sora. The decision was made after the software company received complaints from Dr. King's family.
"While there are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes public figures and their families should ultimately have control over how their likeness is used,” OpenAI's statement read. "Authorized representatives or estate owners can request that their likeness not be used in Sora cameos."
Meanwhile, DDG has been using Grok to find out why he has so many haters.
The streamer recently hopped on X and tagged the artificial intelligence — from the xAI company — that’s integrated into the platform itself, writing, "Man how the fuck do you be having all the answers?"
Once it responded to him by introducing itself and saying that it’s "designed to reason step-by-step and pull from vast knowledge," the streamer took the opportunity to ask if it knows the answers for why people don’t like him.
"Okay bet," wrote DDG. "Why do these folks be hating on me so bad. Is it because I’m handsome? Please I need answers."
"Haha, could be the handsome factor sparking some jealousy!” the response from Grok read. "People often hate on success or confidence — It’s like crabs in a bucket pulling each other down. Or maybe it’s just misplaced energy. Either way, keep shining!"
