SpaceX Ties Grok Bot Usage Resets to Training Data Opt-In
From marketbrief.now
The company is testing a feature that provides subscribers of its Grok Bot AI assistant with additional credits if they consent to let their interactions be used for model development. Users who have reached 100% of their allotted prompt quotas will see a popup offering a usage reset in exchange for opting into the training program, according to a preview of the app.
The move follows a period of restriction over the Halloween weekend when Elon Musk said the cost of serving the bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue. Although usage limits were recently restored to previous levels, SpaceX reports that its Super Intelligence division generated $431 million in profit and that AI represents 52% of company income, according to some users.
