Musk announces Grok AI will fully overhaul X algorithms, enhancing personalized content recommendations within six weeks
– Elon Musk announced X’s transition to the AI-driven Grok recommendation system within four to six weeks.
– Grok will personalise content based on real-time user engagement and improve visibility for smaller creators.
The evolution aims to solve issues faced by smaller content creators, ensuring their quality posts gain visibility. Grok will assess posts holistically, rather than strictly adhering to predetermined rules.
Feed Control
Users will have enhanced control over their feeds through natural language commands. Musk stated that users can request overall adjustments, such as “show more tech news” or “less politics,” simplifying the customization process.
This aligns with Musk’s vision of integrating AI across his ventures, including Tesla and SpaceX. Grok, a product of Musk’s xAI, started as a conversational assistant and now has 64 million monthly users.
Alongside this AI-centric strategy, Musk acknowledged shortcomings in X’s creator payment system, admitting it has failed to compensate content creators adequately compared to platforms like YouTube. This reflects ongoing efforts to improve sustainability for creators as technology evolves on the platform.
