Not even a single full day into operation, and the new Grok 4 is hurling racist conspiracy theories at users.
According to Elon Musk, no later than next week, it will be added to Tesla vehicles.

(Getting downvoted… OK :) My definition of “mildly interesting” feature may be unpopular.)
They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.
Plus, the Chinese ones get to wear funny hats! Here is one dressed up as
.
Are they intended as a conversationalist?
That’s the rub. Sometimes you don’t know the utility of a tool until you build it. The future is weird that way.
Who would have thought WHAT people would chat with ChatGPT about? Like, romance? WTF? That’s strange, call it emergent behavior, the final utility was unexpected.
In my head, I anticipate the tool going down the track of voice assistants from the pre-AI phase, so just like Alexa for directions or simple searches, but local to the car. Maybe unintended utilities will arise? If it can do directions and music and web searches, I guess, we don’t really know what other utilities drivers will find for it yet?
I’m not going to downvote you just because we don’t share the same perspective, that’s dumb. I hope you’re having a good day :)
I don’t want to talk to my car though. I see voice recognition as potentially useful for hands free control, which does have meaningful value, but I don’t need an LLM or any form of generative ai for that
I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of twitter while driving my car. I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of the rest of the internet either.
Asking for weather or directions or whatever, sure, but that doesn’t need an LLM, and certainly doesn’t benefit from grok specifically
The hat is very cute though.
I respect your take :)
I respect your take 😊
Hope you have a lovely day my friend :)
That would be fine if we could trust businesses, but… :gestures at the last half-millennium:
Honestly cars could just run local LLMs. It wouldn’t be that expensive to implement in a car which already has a lot of computer hardware
Yeah but frankly I still wouldn’t trust it
