‘I will always love you!’ Elon Musk unveils Grok Imagine AI tool that can now animate still images

After Tesla shareholders approved a compensation package worth $1 trillion, CEO Elon Musk appears to be celebrating on his social media platform X.

Elon Musk imagines love using Grok's image-to-video tool

In an early Saturday morning post, Musk posted a video generated by Grok Imagine, the new photo and video tool from his company xAI. 

As Musk described it, the video was generated by his prompt, “She smiles and says, ‘I will always love you.’”

The video shows an animated woman on a rainy street, saying those words in an obviously synthetic voice.

Twenty-four minutes later, Musk posted a Grok-generated video of the actress Sydney Sweeney saying, in a distinctly un-Sydney-Sweeney-like voice, “You are so cringe.”

Joyce Carol Oates says, 'Poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning'

Some X users remarked on the “always love you” video as “the most divorced post of all time”, and others called it “the saddest post in the history of this website.”

87-year-old, award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates wrote that it’s “so curious” that Musk “never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates,” whether that’s posting about friends, relatives, nature, pets, movies, music, or books.

“In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured,” she remarked. “The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

To which Musk quickly responded, “Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.”

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s… https://t.co/xMxQGSVqEt
