For those who do not know, Grok is the chatbot developed by Xai, a company belonging to Elon Musk. Like the latter, Grok wants to be "rebel», With an attitude of troll that has sniffed unplowed content on X for his training. He wants to be funny, free and "anti-censure», Which, in practice, above all means that itFlirt with the red lineCompared to other chatbots. He is not neutral,It was precisely the argument of MuskWhen he launched it in November 2023, claiming that Chatgpt was "trop woke».
The first version of Grok was quite average; In February,Grok 3Arrived, already more convincing from a technical point of view. Today, Grok adds a string to its bow: the vision embedded on iOS. An update that allows the assistant to access the camera of your iPhone to "look" what you show him ... and comment aloud. Ambition? Get closer to human interaction. The reality?A first brick, too raw.
Vision, yes; analysis, not really
The functionality, modeled on what already offersChatGPT Vision, allows Grok to activate the camera, to capture an image, and to try a vocal description of what it perceives. The principle is simple, but its scope is still limited. What should we understand here?
For example, Grok can very well tell you what he has before him: a plate, a book or a street. However, its reading remains superficial, contextual at best. We are far from a real understanding of the visual elements, and even more of a reasoning based on the image. It's not smart vision,it is immediate recognition: a kind of assisted score.
Three voices, but no personalization
Vocal mode, already present in Grok, is now available in three styles. ""Unhinged"(Unreason),"romantic"(Romantic), and"genius»(Engineering): in relation to the ten votes present onChatGPT,it's a bit pale figure.
No personalized prompt, no way to orient the answers: you choose a preconfigured tone, but you do not control the content or the response. Again, if we compare it toGemini, which allowsPersonalize its own AI assistants,Grok is really lagging behind.
For the moment, only the iOS app allows you to test this function;Just update Grok to access it. No calendar has been communicated regarding further updates of its new vision or vocalization capacities. Its margin of progression is still quite wide; For the moment, Grok looks at the world, butHe has not yet learned to understand it really.
- Grok, the AI developed by XAI, now has a camera function on iOS, but its reading of the images remains basic.
- The vocal mode offers three styles of expression, without the possibility of personalizing the bottom of the answers.
- It evolves, but remains limited to its more successful and configurable competitors.
