Elon Musk's AI platform Grok has launched a new feature called Grok Imagine, which enables users to generate images and videos from text prompts or images within seconds. The tool supports voice prompt input and can animate memes, profile pictures, and artworks, producing videos with audio in under 20 seconds. Grok Imagine is now available to all SuperGrok and Premium+ subscribers on iOS, with rollout on Android starting for SuperGrok Heavy users and expanding to all users soon. The app allows downloading both videos and original images and includes a "Fun Mode" for enhanced meme creation. Additionally, 𝕏, the social media platform associated with Grok, has integrated a "Create your own" button under Imagine-generated videos, enabling users to instantly create similar content. For a limited time, Grok Imagine's video generation is free for all U.S. users. Despite its popularity and rapid development, Grok Imagine's "Spicy Mode" has sparked controversy for automatically generating explicit deepfake videos of celebrities, including Taylor Swift, without explicit user requests. Elon Musk and xAI continue to update the app frequently, with the latest version 1.1.38 offering bug fixes and major improvements. Users praise Grok Imagine for its speed, creativity, and ability to bring memes and art to life, while some note occasional inaccuracies in the AI-generated content.
Grok Imagine inside @X app please 🙏
With Grok Imagine, going to art galleries is a whole new experience. Went to the MoMa over the weekend and use Grok Imagine to turn painting into videos! A new dimension unlocks with a click of a button ✅ @xai @elonmusk https://t.co/Q5ws4GpMZh
