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.

Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.

    In general, with tools these LLMs have the ability to bring the next generation of Alexa / HomePod like devices (though I am not sure Amazon has delivered on that vision yet)

    I like the idea of running a Llama based "Assistant" that would not require all my data leaving my house which could also be accomplished with these features.

    In my car though... just use my fucking phone and get out of my way

    (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 my favorite Mario brother.

    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.

    That would be fine if we could trust businesses, but... :gestures at the last half-millennium:

    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?
