Elon Musk Claims Grok Will Make AI 'The Odyssey' Movie
Elon Musk promises xAI's Grok will churn out a feature-length, historically accurate AI adaptation of The Odyssey before the year ends.
Elon Musk announced that Grok will create a feature-length, AI-generated, and 'historically accurate' adaptation of Homer's 'The Odyssey' before the year is out. The announcement adds to a string of xAI media stunts, including past AI video generations involving Sydney Sweeney and updates to the Grok Imagine tool.
- Musk announced the AI-generated feature film project for release before the end of the year.
- The project follows previous xAI media stunts using the Grok Imagine 0.9 text, image, and video generation tool.
- Real-world box offices for theatrical versions of 'The Odyssey' have remained resilient despite online casting controversies involving Lupita Nyong'o and Elliot Page.
- X previously limited some Grok image generation features following user backlash over illegal content creation.
