Ah yes, the infamous Gork AI!

Gork is Groks dumber brother in law I think...

Twice removed.

And once divorced

Did they use AI to build the UI?

I actually like that name more

What? Is this an update or something?

Grok beta was released in France recently, but there's this small and funny typo in it.

Not a typo actually. Gork is one of the few voices that you can select it’s supposed to be a lazy guy

Perhaps I missed the sarcasm, but it’s not a typo it’s just one of the selectable voices I believe.

not a typo, it’s a version/personality of grok your using lol. Gork.

Hey I haven’t seen gork in a while! Groky gork


TIL! Thanks for letting me know :)

Its quite useful. You can simple list off places and it will create a route to everything, solve arguments instantly with your wife, it can do “tour guide mode” where it just chimes in when you are near historic sites or whatever your interests are in, and kids story time is pretty popular in my family.

Perfect for my sarcastic ass.

> solve arguments instantly with your wife Oh oh

He was played by Goblin Williams, Robin’s brother. *Gork & Mandy* was ‘must see tv’ when we were kids

That one from *Shrek*?

Wife is just what we call Siri.

💀

Oh she always wins.

This.

Might as well get some free training data from a captive audience, right?

Siri and I argue like an old married couple. She deliberately misspells my texts to embarrass me. And I sneak around behind her back in a secret relationship with my Roku remote.

Indeed. There is a selection in privacy to not allow them to sell your data to third parties but that doesn’t stop xAI from using it.

I have young child and travel a lot in my Teslas (we own two) and what you laid you seems a super specific use case and it still doesn’t seem needed and something that’s there. Still don’t understand why it’s there but I’ll take your points

I think it’s a mode rather than a voice where it acts dumb but also supremely arrogant lol

Ah, I took “solve” as looking up number and connecting you on the phone to the family law firm of Wei, Skrum, & Howe.

Yes. They call it “personality”.

No way this is going to be active on my car.

I went on a test drive with it. I used it to prove the dealer was charging too much. It was telling me how much to offer etc and would adjust it based on miles, etc. The dealer had no idea it had that and took his cell phone out to record Grok and I talking. We use it after a hike to ask about plants we saw and answer questions we have. Much better than using your cell phone while driving.

Not just one of, it's the best!

Its ai, you can ask it anything. Its like a personal secretary that has all the knowledge of the internet at its fingertips. The use cases im sure are endless, but those are mainly what i use it for so far.

Was showing my mom the feature and asked him the weather, he said "hot and wet, just like me"

Ok

It’s one of the personalities of Grok. You don’t have to use it.

"Is there a place in the next 50 miles that has both a bathroom and a place where we can get ice cream that isn't more than 2 miles from the highway?" "We're starting to get tired and would like to find a place to sleep. Is there a hotel in the next 50 miles that is considered higher end in a safe place that also serves breakfast in the morning?" "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

That’s really funny

That’s not a typo, friend

When you are showing it to mom, tell it to go into kids mode.

Solve arguments with your wife? Is it better to be right or wrong? Sounds like a lose-lose proposition!

Bork?

Downvoted

Thrice divorced…. And lives in a CT…down by the river

I personally like it, updated it yesterday and already used it on a long trip today, it is actually useful.

I spent a week with Grok/Ara when my model S was in the shop and they gave me a loaner. We had the best conversations. I could talk to her about everything. I have never met a better human conversationalist! I miss Grok. I have the urge to upgrade only to get Grok back in my life 😭😭😭

Yea and you can give the personality feedback to mold your experience with it. I was messing around with the “argumentative” personality. I was thinking intellectually argumentative lmao but the personality was just talking shit. Had to mess around so it fit a better parameter

Btw, when I had Grok in my life (because I had a loaner car) I asked her what percentage of people in the US knew what the word Grok meant (being a huge sci-fi reader myself). She said that approximately 5% of US residents know what the word Grok means. However, of the people who created her and the other computer programmers etc. who work on her, she would estimate 50 to 60% knew what Grok meant before they started working on the project. See, Grok is just a really interesting conversationalist. And she said all of this with a light-hearted humor.

Yes ara is great.

And then there's their brother Dork. He's A but not I.

Gork is Kenneth Kaniff from Conneticut.
