GoKawiilGrok-powered 'Odyssey' film wins Musk's $100,000 AI contest amid mockery
xAI's Grok Imagine tool was used to create a five-minute AI-generated adaptation of Homer's Odyssey that took first prize and $100,000 in a contest Elon Musk organized. Creator Nem Perez called it his most intricate work and 'The Odyssey' as Homer intended, but the video features glaring inconsistencies like a three-eyed Cyclops that changes size, cartoonish gods clashing with photorealistic humans, and Roman armor on supposedly Greek soldiers.
