X now displays Grok-generated queries under some posts

I’ve been spending a lot of time on X lately, and today, something new caught my eye. Below a few posts, I noticed a strange phenomenon: Grok-generated queries. Yes, Elon Musk’s beloved AI was now trying to read my mind, or at least, the minds of the posters, by suggesting questions I might want to ask about their posts.

As a self-proclaimed X addict, I spend a fair share of my day lurking around the platform, and until today, I hadn’t seen these curious little queries. But lo and behold, there they were, staring back at me beneath a post about Sonos’ CEO shakeup. Intrigued, I did what any responsible netizen would do — I checked around and even asked my colleague whether he’d seen them before. While my colleague was equally new to this change, turns out a few eagle-eyed users had noticed these queries cropping up here and there a couple of weeks ago, hinting at a slow, deliberate rollout or perhaps just another experimental phase in X’s ever-evolving playbook.

Now, for those who’ve been living under a rock, X’s Grok is the AI brainchild that’s been making waves. From creating images to decoding cryptic posts, Grok is X’s answer to all your burning questions (or at least, that’s the promise). And let me tell you, X is pushing Grok hard. We’re talking about a Grok button in the sidebar, another in the post composer, and now these sneaky little queries popping up under posts.

According to the latest buzz, X isn’t stopping at queries. They’re expanding Grok’s in-stream presence with new post composer options. Imagine being able to generate AI-powered images or enhance your posts on the fly — all thanks to Grok. There’s even talk of a “Fix facts” feature, though given Grok’s, let’s say, creative relationship with accuracy, that one might be a bit of a gamble.

Now, here’s the thing: while some might argue that all this AI wizardry takes the “social” out of social media, it’s clear that X has a vision. Whether we like it or not, AI is becoming a bigger part of our online lives, and X is determined to lead the charge. As my colleague, who’s yet to see these queries himself, pointed out, it seems like X is testing the waters carefully, rolling out Grok features to select users before unleashing them on the masses.

So, what does this mean for us, the users? On one hand, these Grok-generated queries could enhance our understanding of posts, sparking new questions and discussions. On the other hand, it’s a step further into the AI-driven world, where human interaction takes a back seat to algorithmic suggestions.

Whether you’re thrilled or skeptical, X is committed to its AI journey. So, buckle up and get ready for more Grok in your feed. Who knows? Maybe these AI-infused features will make us smarter, more informed, and perhaps even a bit more curious.
