The tweet featured a brief video that showcased her getting out of a car while wearing a striking multi-coloured dress, brought to life using the AI model.

As Grok Imagine gains traction on the platform, reactions from users vary widely from praise to scepticism. One user urged Elon to digitalise more of Maye’s photographs, noting, “It would be a powerful example of Grok’s POWER, and Maye will live forever for her many grandchildren of today and tomorrow to really understand the woman who started it all.”

Another user praised Maye’s beauty, stating, “Maye is so stunning, what wonderful keepsakes these videos are becoming.” However, not every comment was positive; one user remarked, “I like how all the Musk lovers pretend like GPT didn’t do this 2 years ago.”
