Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, can now generate images. Although it has limitations, with a little patience it is possible create truly impressive photographs and drawings. Unlike others, here you can use famous people, and there is less censorship. Let’s see what he can do.
Grok’s image-generating artificial intelligence, Aurora, is available for free to everyone. You only need a free X account.
Elon Musk is being generous, because unlike OpenAI’s Dall-E, which barely allows you to generate two images a day for free, here you can create about 15 images every two hours. If you are Premium, there seems to be no limit. Although these figures will surely reduce over time.
See what you can do with Grok’s Aurora
Aurora is an autoregressive network trained with billions of photos from the Internet, which has given it a deep knowledge of the world.
What Grok is best at is photorealistic rendering, i.e. create images that look like photos. But she is also good at drawing pictures in different styles.
This is the image generated with the prompt: “Full-length photograph of Elon Musk with a scared face, dressed as a bullfighter, falling to the ground after slipping on a banana skin”:
To use Grok, simply go to X in the browser or through the app, and sign in with a free or paid account. You will see the Grok icon, or the Grok option, on the main screen.
To use Aurora, the image-generating AI, tell Grok something like “Draw me a…”, or “Picture of…”.
Photos are his forte. Look at this prompt: “Photograph of a bulldog wearing virtual reality glasses. The bulldog is lying on a lounge chair on the beach.” The impressive thing is not that it looks real, but that reflects the beach also in the glass of the glasses:
Grok can also use an image or photo as a reference to create anotherusing the paper clip icon, to upload the image. The artificial intelligence “sees” the photo and describes it to you, so you can confirm that you want to generate that.
It doesn’t really “see” the image itself, because it doesn’t copy anything. But it does create content with the concept of the photo.
For example, I have uploaded a promotional photo of The House of Dragonwhere the face of a huge dragon can be seen behind Rhaenyra, and Grok describes her as “a female figure with a dragon background capturing the intensity of the dragon and the serenity of the figure.” I have asked you to I created it in Van Gogh style:
You can also see it in Monet style, in the opening image of the news. As we see, it does not copy the positions or content of the photo, only the concept.
asking him different pictorial stylescan be obtained drawings really beautiful well-known elements that no one has painted in those styles.
Here you can see the Giralda of Seville, in the style of Monet and Van Gogh: “Generate a drawing of the Giralda of Seville in the style…”:
It doesn’t always get it right. If you ask for a Dalí-style drawing, everyone has clocks somewhere that don’t fit. On one occasion, a girl was generated with Dali’s mustache.
Once the image is created, a pencil icon appears in the prompt. If you touch it, you can modify this image. In reality, it copies the prompt to a new one, and you modify it there.
You can ask him to change day for night, or a dog for a horse, or the color of his clothes. Artificial intelligence will not generate the same image, but a different one with the same concept, and the corrections.
Although, with a little patience, it is possible to generate spectacular images with Grok, I have to say that The photos you see here came out on the third or fourth attempt.. Grok makes quite a few mistakes when generating what you ask of him, or it simply doesn’t look good.
But by fine-tuning the prompts, you can create interesting things. We will see what happens on a legal level with the use of the image of famous people, as well as alcoholic beverages, violent scenes, etc.
Aurora, Grok’s generative image AI, is free for everyoneand you can create about 15 images every two hours. Take advantage of it, before it is only for users who pay for the Premium subscription.
