"Please remake the last season of Game of Thrones": Internet reacts after Elon Musk claims Grok will make "really good movies in 2027"

Elon Musk is going head-to-head with top AI contenders through xAI’s Grok. He often took to X in recent weeks to showcase Grok Imagine’s latest developments. On Monday, Musk reposted a tweet that showed an AI-generated clip featuring a hyperrealistic action scene. The user wondered how Grok Imagine can generate realistic movie scenes, calling the feat "mind-blowing."

While reposting this, Elon Musk claimed that in 2027, xAI's platform would be able to produce "really good movies."

"Grok will make a movie that is at least watchable before the end of next year and really good movies in 2027," Musk posted.

Netizens were quick to share their thoughts on the tech billionaire's claim. A user playfully chimed in and demanded a remake of the final season of Game of Thrones.

"Can it please remake the last season of Game of Thrones?!?!?" the user posted.

The reactions were mixed, and many users raised concerns, saying that AI-generated movies would not be able to bring the human touch.

An X user suggested that xAI should focus on technology through which Grok Imagine could convert any novel or story into a movie based on the user's preference.

Given Elon Musk's recent call to cancel Netflix, some users asked the SpaceX founder to replace the streaming platform with "Grokflix."

However, not everyone was convinced by Musk's claim. A few netizens questioned whether Grok would be able to match professional filmmaking in the next two years. A user shared a long post listing Elon Musk's past claims that were allegedly not fulfilled within the promised time.

To showcase Grok's potential, Elon Musk also reposted multiple tweets sharing clips generated by the AI platform. In one of his X posts, Musk wrote that xAI's chatbot was growing faster than its counterparts.

Elon Musk expressed strong optimism about Grok

The tech billionaire has placed high bets on his company's AI platform. xAI's founder recently promoted the Grok Vision in his September 26 post. He noted that with this feature, users could understand "pretty much anything" by pointing the camera at any object.

In his October 5 post, Musk talked about the major upgrade in Grok Imagine that helps in improved video generation.

Earlier, on September 17, while reposting some benchmark scores of different AI platforms, Musk wrote that he now believed xAI had a "chance of reaching AGI" with Grok 5.

"I now think @xAI has a chance of reaching AGI with @Grok 5. Never thought that before," he posted.

For the unversed, AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence, an advanced stage in AI development. According to IBM, AGI is a "hypothetical stage" in which AI systems would possess cognitive abilities like humans.

Elon Musk, a vocal critic of Wikipedia, announced on September 30 that xAI would be releasing Grokipedia as an alternative to Wikipedia.

Musk is not only competing in the race to advance AI systems but also aiming to set new benchmarks in automation and robotics. On October 4, the Tesla founder shared a clip on his X account showing the company's humanoid robot learning Kung Fu.
