Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot built into the X social media platform, is now available for free for at least some users for the first time. It’s one of the most outspoken and opinionated AI tools I’ve ever used, so I decided to evaluate and see if it could improve my desk environment.Shortly after the release of the second generation Grok 2 last month, it added the ability to analyze images known as AI Vision. It also quickly caught up with ChatGPT and Claude in terms of performance. I found it more fun to talk about because it’s more direct.Previously,…
