X is using Grok to publish AI-generated summaries of news and other topics that trend on the platform. The feature, which is currently only available to premium subscribers, is called \u201cStories on X,\u201d according to a post<\/ins><\/a> from the company\u2019s engineering account.<\/p>\n According to X, Grok relies on users\u2019 posts to generate the text snippets. Some seem to be more news-focused, while others are summaries of conversations happening on the platform itself. One user posted<\/ins><\/a> a screenshot that showed stories about Apple\u2019s earnings report and aid to Ukraine, as well as one for \u201cMusk, Experts Debate National Debt,\u201d which was a summary of a \u201ccandid online discussion\u201d between Musk and other \u201cprominent figures\u201d on X.<\/p>\n If any of this sounds familiar, it\u2019s also remarkably similar to Moments, the longtime Twitter feature that curated authoritative tweets about important news and cultural moments on the platform. The feature, which was overseen by a team of human staffers, was killed in 2022<\/ins><\/a>.<\/ins><\/p>\n Like other generative AI tools, Grok\u2019s summaries come with a disclaimer. \u201cThis story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time,\u201d it says. \u201cGrok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.\u201d Grok, of course, doesn\u2019t exactly have the best track record when it comes to accurately interpreting current events.
