Actually bigger than ChatGPT's first week in terms of iOS downloads, which is mental considering you need an invite code to even use the thing. But it's sitting at a 2.9 rating on the App Store because OpenAI did what they always do. Let everyone run wild for a few days generating Pikachu getting barbecued and other mad stuff, then slammed the guardrails on once they'd hooked everyone in. Naturally, Elon's spotted an opportunity and basically removed all censorship from Grok Imagine, we're talking full nudity, the works. Classic Elon move when he's not getting enough attention whilst OpenAI dominates the news cycle. The other big story is consultancies having an absolute nightmare. Deloitte charged the Australian government $440k for a report that was riddled with AI errors and made-up footnotes, which for starters is embarrassing. Meanwhile, IBM's head of consulting is saying the entire industry needs to reinvent itself as software companies or they're done for. It's a fair point — why would anyone pay half a million quid for a consultancy to just chuck your brief into ChatGPT when you could do that yourself? The squeeze is real, and I reckon we're watching an entire industry try to work out what their value proposition actually is now that AI can do most of what they were charging eye-watering amounts for.
