Elon Musk's X Upgrades Grok AI Chatbot with Image Generating - Slashdot

Dec 08, 2024 - tech.slashdot.org
A new image generator called Aurora briefly became available to some users of Grok, a platform for AI models. Users shared photorealistic images created with Aurora, including depictions of copyrighted characters like Mickey Mouse and Luigi from Super Mario. However, by Sunday afternoon, Aurora was removed from Grok's model selection menu and replaced with another model named "Grok 2 + Flux (beta)." It appears that Aurora was inadvertently released to the public before it was ready.

Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter that Aurora is an internal image generation system still in beta, promising rapid improvements. During its brief availability, TechCrunch observed that Aurora had few restrictions, allowing the generation of images featuring public and copyrighted figures. The tool was noted for its ability to create photorealistic images, including landscapes and still lifes.

Key takeaways:

  • Aurora, a new image generator, was briefly available to some Grok users and was noted for its photorealistic image capabilities.
  • Users shared images generated by Aurora, including a notable image of Mickey Mouse fighting Luigi from Super Mario.
  • The tool was quickly removed from Grok's model selection menu and replaced with "Grok 2 + Flux (beta)," suggesting it may have been released prematurely.
  • Elon Musk confirmed Aurora as an internal image generation system in beta, with expectations for rapid improvement.
