Elon Musk's latest AI feature for Grok is supposedly strong enough to give its users 'superhuman powers', and everyone will be able to give it a try as it has been made free worldwide.
Grok has been continuously improving along with the developments made in the larger world of artificial intelligence, although there have been a number of worrying hurdles along the way.
It has never been afraid to criticize its creator, calling Elon Musk both a hypocrite and the biggest spreader of disinformation on the internet, but it also had bizarre claims of 'white genocide' alongside expressing support for Hitler and Nazi ideology.
Following the release of its latest model though Musk believes Grok to be smarter than most PhD candidates, and has even expressed that it can give you 'superhuman powers' when using a certain feature.

According to Musk himself, Grok's new 'Imagine' feature is there to enable the creativity of its users, as he pointed out in a recent post on X.

"The goal of Grok Imagine is to give you superhuman imagination powers," Musk wrote about the feature that he repeated introduced as a revival of much-loved but long-dead social media app Vine.
Currently the tool has the capacity to create short AI generated videos that last for just a few seconds, which is where Musk made the comparison to Vine's six-second-long snippets that became instantly memorable for the hundreds of millions that used the app before it was shut down.
The replies to Musk's post include a number of generated videos using Grok Imagine, with most of them featuring outer space or sci-fi-like scenes that supposedly show the tool's ability to create beyond our means.
It hasn't come without opposition though, as one of the top replies writes: "I don't need some machine to imagine for me. That's the wrong direction."

Another followed this up by comparing Musk's words to the perception that a calculator gives you 'superhuman math powers', arguing: "In a sense, sure... In another sense, you might completely forget how to do any math at all."
Regardless of where you stand on the ethics and potential of Musk's new AI feature, the billionaire has made the decision to open it up to everyone by making Grok Imagine free worldwide.
He revealed the news through an AI generated recreation of the popular 'Change My Mind' meme format, featuring himself sat behind a desk that states 'Grok Imagine Is Now Free Worldwide'.

It was previously only available to premium Grok subscribers during the initial release period, but much like the image generation equivalent it now has become available to anyone with an X account or the Grok app.
Some have even used their newly-granted access to make the image Musk used to announce the news into a video, with one video in the replies showing Musk being run over by a train.
There are also videos that transplant Adolf Hitler onto popular gifs, suggesting that we perhaps might not be too far away from another controvers
