In his bid to become one of the best artificial intelligence tools Right now, Elon Musk is set to release the source code for X Corp's Grok AI chatbot to the public this week.
The decision, as TechCrunch reports, comes with The filing of a lawsuit by Musk in early March 2024 against ChatGPT developer OpenAI, alleging that it has deviated from its original purpose of developing artificial intelligence technology “for the benefit of humanity” and is now seeking profits.

Grok may be on the verge of going open source, but I fear that, for Musk, the move may be part of a “gotcha” moment, rather than him genuinely believing that the public domain is the place to go. belongs, because it's hard to believe. that Musk has ever cared about doing good for humanity.
