Last year, Elon Musk announced that X, formerly of Twitter, will use and launch something called Grok . Grok is a chatbot for X, similar to Gemini or ChatGPT and can help create tweets and forum content. AI chatbots are all able to create content using information and pull information from all over the internet. Grok is unique because it can pull from all X, which can give it the most sensitive and time-sensitive information you can remove, compared to other chatbots.

Recently, it was announced that X was releasing the Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini, offering two different models for advanced chatbot functionality. The latest update from the Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini is that they can now create images. It’s currently only available in beta testing for X Premium subscribers, so you’ll need to pay if you want access to X’s AI image creation.

As one can imagine, there has been some modest use of the new chatbot features, with people creating plenty of wild AI images. Some of the ads used and produced images include former President Donald Trump holding two guns and former President George W. Bush doing cocaine. There are many other examples of crazy AI graphics in X right now. If you want to join the frenzy, here’s how to use Grok to create AI graphics in X.

It is currently in beta testing

xAI

xAI, Elon Musk’s company, announced that the Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini were in beta testing earlier this week. It highlighted how Grok uses AI tutors to interact with language models and find ways to select the best results from the guidelines it sets. When you use Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini to create AI images, there are content restrictions, and if you type something that removes a “red flag” you will get a warning about not creating images that are “pornographic, excessively violent, [or] hateful.” However, as you can imagine, this should be taken with a grain of salt as X is not known for its incredibly strict content guidelines.

The AI’s reasoning power will also not create images that infringe copyright material or be used as deepfakes. Just three days in, these seemed to be following very warmly, as one of the main images surrounding X was Mickey Mouse as a Nazi. However, xAI has provided its Grok-2 models with thinking, learning, and understanding, which you can read about on the company’s blog.

Beta testing of bilingual models is available for X Premium and X Premium+ users. Those with an X Premium account pay $8 per month for it and those with an X Premium+ account pay $16 per month for it. The opportunity to use Grok-2 models can be attractive, as it offers unique features. The Grok-2 is larger, more accurate, and can handle more information while the Grok-2 mini is faster but smaller. xAI promotes the Grok-2 models because it says the resources it pulls from are more accurate because they come from X and web searches. The language model will actually make the decision itself whether to search in X or on the web.

How to create AI images with Grok

Carry out instructions

One important thing to note before you get started is that to use this feature you will need access to X on the computer so the website is in its “desktop” mode. From there, here’s how to create AI images in Grok:

Sign in in yours X account (must be an X Premium or X Premium+ account to use the Grok-2 beta test)
Select Grok in the menu on the left side of the screen (appears in the middle of the menu)
Select Grok-2 or Grok-2 mini to create AI images.
Kind of prompt in the search bar that appears in the middle of the screen

From there, all you have to do is use the commands as you see fit. Creating AI images is not the same as asking it to look up the meaning of a meme or explain the rules of basketball to you. You should tell the chatbot to follow your instructions as clearly as possible.

Note: Use the words “create image” to start your prompt so you can get Grok-2 to create an AI image for you

From there, you can see what Grok-2 can do for you. It’s true that it’s easy to do and making pictures can be fun. As we have seen so far, it has also been an interesting way to create memes for timely events.
