Hello and welcome to the Automated, your AI tour guide.

We’ve all heard of Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, and how it’s famous for cracking jokes and occasionally causing a stir on social media with its creative outputs.

But let’s be honest: only a lucky few have actually had the chance to see it in action, but guess what? That’s about to change! As of now, Grok is officially free and open to everyone.

Here’s what we have for you today:

• 💃 X’s Grok AI chatbot is now free for all!

• 🤩 X’s Grok unveils Aurora!

• 🛑 How to stop the AI you’re using from training with your data.

• 🛠️ 9 underrated AI tools you’ll wish you found sooner.

💃 X’s Grok AI chatbot is now free for all!

Grok has finally dropped its VIP-only status, folks.

What was once reserved exclusively for X (formerly Twitter) premium subscribers is now open to everyone—including free users.

But before you get too excited, there’s a catch:

Free users can only send 10 messages every two hours and generate up to three daily images. So, no marathon chatting sprees, but hey, baby steps, right?

Grok, often described as a “humorous AI assistant,” embodies Musk's trademark blend of entertainment and unexpected antics.

Its text-to-image feature, introduced in August, has already generated some buzz with controversial images, such as one of Taylor Swift in lingerie and another of Kamala Harris holding a gun.

So, why the sudden open invite? The answer is straightforward: Competition.

With heavy hitters like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude dominating the field, Musk is determined to make Grok a serious contender.

By easing access (well, kind of), he aims to expand the company’s audience and ultimately shake things up in the AI landscape.

X users are already experiencing the fun, and you can, too, as Grok is now available on both the X app and its web version.

And that’s not all: Rumor has it that xAI, valued at an impressive $6 billion, is working on a standalone app for Grok.

If this comes to fruition, it could elevate the chatbot battle to exhilarating new levels.

The big question is: Can Grok’s quirky humor and occasional mischief win over users, or will it simply become the internet’s next meme factory? Only time and perhaps a few viral conversations will tell.

🤩 X’s Grok unveils Aurora!

X has just rolled out Aurora, an innovative new AI image generator under its Grok suite that’s already making waves.

This powerhouse tool is taking the art of photorealistic visuals to the next level and stirring up plenty of conversation along the way.

But what makes Aurora so captivating?

Its ability to craft jaw-dropping images that blur the line between reality and art. However, it’s not without controversy.

TechCrunch reports indicate that Aurora can generate images of copyrighted characters and even public figures with minimal restrictions.

Users have begun sharing some striking, albeit occasionally flawed, celebrity renderings that showcase both the remarkable potential and the quirks of this cutting-edge technology.

Think stunning visuals but with some oddities in anatomy and continuity.

But oddly, this feature, which was initially accessible through the “Grok 2 + Aurora beta,” mysteriously vanished on December 8. Weird, right?
