American businessman and entrepreneur Elon Musk never fails to entertain on social media, this time giving birth to a new potential trend. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to post an AI-generated video, giving the internet a new creative and funny idea for a prompt. Let’s take a look at Musk’s latest viral moment, courtesy of his AI assistant, Grok.
Elon Musk urges X users to try ‘add a girlfriend’ AI prompt on on Grok Imagine
Elon Musk recently posted an AI-generated video on X, using his AI assistant Grok’s latest image generation tool. In the viral video, he shared a cute little animated banana in a sweater, sipping a warm drink while reading a book.
Halfway through the clip, a second animated banana, meant to be “a girlfriend,” walks in and offers the banana a muffin. Musk captioned the post, “Just type ‘add a girlfriend’ to any video on the new Grok Imagine.”
The tech billionaire’s post went viral quickly, with users experimenting with their own “add a girlfriend” prompts using the new Grok Imagine AI image generation tool. Users put the tool to the test by creating various clips, ranging from partners for their pets to girlfriends for food items.
One user also took the same clip Musk posted, changing the prompt to “Grok add 20 girlfriends.” These and many other humorous clips have now been posted online following Musk’s original post.
This trend, whether playfully shared by Musk or as a strategic move, highlights the internet’s love for absurd viral moments. However, while humorous, the trend also raises concerns about photorealistic image and video generation.
As generative AI tools continue to advance rapidly, they also prompt serious questions about online safety and digital integrity, emphasizing the urgent need for strict protocols to prevent misuse of these powerful tools.
