# X Assessments Expanded Grok Prompts and Features In-Stream

For those who’ve used X in any respect in the previous couple of weeks, you’ll be properly conscious that Grok exists, and that it’s now accessible that can assist you create photographs, conduct analysis on traits, clarify posts, and many others.

That’s as a result of X is selling its AI chatbot in all places that it may within the app, with a Grok button within the sidebar, and one other one within the publish composer window, in addition to advertisements for Grok in-stream, a Grok “clarify this publish” icon on each publish, and extra.

Sure, X may be very eager to get extra folks utilizing its “anti-woke” chatbot, and its expanded capabilities.

And shortly, you’re going to see much more Grok choices in-stream, as X appears at add extra publish composer choices, in addition to solutions of inquiries to ask Grok on chosen posts.

First off, on composer choices, as you possibly can see on this instance, shared by app researcher @swak_12, X is engaged on a simplified “Generate picture” possibility throughout the publish composer, together with “Improve your publish”, which might be accessible through the xAI icon:

That’ll make it simpler so as to add an AI-generated visible to accompany your replace, whereas the publish enhancement choices will supply methods to customise and enhance your posts, based mostly on AI suggestions.

As you possibly can see, there’s additionally an choice to “Repair info” inside your replace. Which, given Grok’s observe document for accuracy, may not be completely factual.

There are additionally choices to shorten your replace, for once you exceed the character restrict, or give your posts another persona, in case yours isn’t very attention-grabbing.

Which, as with all AI publish composer choices, appears to run counter to the precise “social” parts of social media, in that it removes the human component from the equation. However xAI is spending a heap to energy its Grok instruments, so it’s actually eager to get extra folks utilizing them the place it may.

On one other entrance, X can also be rolling out Grok-generated queries that it’s displaying beneath posts in-stream:

That might assist to provide you extra context on an replace, by prompting you with questions that you just by no means thought to ask. Which may, conceivably, assist to reinforce contextual understanding as you scroll by means of, however once more, it additionally lessens the human component. And if customers can simply use Grok to artificially simulate a personality that they need to be within the app, that now not feels as social, or as human, as social platforms of the previous.

However perhaps we’re past that both method, and perhaps, given the rising array of generative AI instruments on supply, that is going to be the longer term, whether or not we prefer it or not, with increasingly parts powered by robots, who will immediate us with ever-expanded choices.

Both method, as famous, xAI has to pay the payments in some way, because it appears to justify its $50 billion valuation, and clearly, X desires AI to be a much bigger a part of the in-app expertise, in just about each kind.

That also feels synthetic, however with Meta additionally trying to introduce AI generated character profiles, it looks like increasingly of our interactions will likely be with created entities in future, regardless of how we view it.

So it doesn’t appear overly good to facilitate bot posting, however it might even be inevitable.

And who is aware of? Perhaps these additions will really make us smarter, and extra knowledgeable, and facilitate larger understanding on the planet.

That was the unique promise of social media apps, in that giving everybody a voice would allow larger perspective, and thus, larger understanding and tolerance.

It hasn’t ended up going that method, and I doubt generative AI instruments will assist both. However they’re coming, whether or not you prefer it or not. So most likely greatest to concentrate on the positives.
