Elon Musk has 'What's this' question on Lord Ganesha for AI chatbot Grok, shares 'Hidden attachment'
Elon Musk recently shared a Grok conversation where he asked the AI chatbot to identify and describe Lord Ganesha . The conversation, as shared by Elon Musk in an X (formerly Twitter) post starts with the tech billionaire uploading a ‘Hidden attachment’ and asking the chatbot “What’s this?”. It is not clear what the hidden attachment uploaded by Elon Musk is, but from Grok’s answer it appears to be a brass statue of Lord Ganesha.
Replying to Elon Musk’s ‘What’s This’ query, the AI chatbot developed by xAI responds: “This is a small brass (or bronze) statue of Lord Ganesha, a widely revered Hindu deity.”
Grok provided further details in its response, writing -
“Key identifying features:
Ganesha is known as the remover of obstacles, the god of beginnings, wisdom, and prosperity. Such idols are commonly used in home shrines (puja rooms) for daily worship. This appears to be a traditional South Indian-style brass murti, likely placed on a wooden pedestal against a red backdrop.”
What is Grok
Grok, as mentioned above, is an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk-owned xAI. It is integrated into X and is designed to act as a conversational assistant for users — similar to ChatGPT or Google Gemini. Grok offers real-time search, image generation, trend analysis, and more.
This interaction, accompanied by a share link from grok.com, seems to highlight Grok's advanced image recognition and cultural understanding, subtly promoting xAI's capabilities.
Notably, xAI has also introduced Grok 2 and Grok Imagine to create images and videos.
