This is the first time I'm hearing about Grok being able to generate videos. So if it's viral marketing it is working

I would try it out on more innocent things, but as usual with Grok I'm not sure where to even start. There is the X bot, the dedicated website, the iOS app and the Android app, and features between them never match up. Based on the reporting this might be available in the X bot and the iOS app, but not the website and the android app? I've never been able to make sense of their feature rollout beyond "it's probably on whatever Elon is using"

little bobby tables as i live and breathe!

probably, there is huge pent up demand for "spicy" ai and image gen. Reddit is full of it. Elon Musk is clearly trying to differentiate his product virally, and its working.
