X Rolls Out New Stories Feature Powered by Grok AI Chatbot

Elon Musk's social media platform X has introduced a new feature called "Stories" that utilizes artificial intelligence to summarize trending news for premium subscribers. Now, Grok powers the new Stories feature, accessible only to X premium users. It provides concise overviews of popular topics, blending news with commentary.

Available in the "Explore" tab on web and iOS apps, Stories aims to offer quick summaries of trending discussions on X as part of X's ongoing efforts to deliver more value through premium subscriptions. The new feature keeps premium users informed on what's happening worldwide.

Curated by Grok AI, Stories pulls in insights from across X to give users a fresh perspective on each subject beyond just reprinting news articles. However, X notes that no AI is perfect. A warning below each summary reminds users to "verify Grok's outputs" since mistakes and hallucinations are possible.

The feature builds on Musk's debut of Grok AI to X last year. As CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Musk had publicly criticized AI chatbot ChatGPT from OpenAI, calling it "too woke" and unveiled Grok as an alternative for X customers.
