Christopher Nolan can rest easy after Elon Musk's Grok releases a bad AI version of The Odyssey

After months of threatening a new project, Elon Musk's AI assistant Grok has released the first part of its 'adaptation' of The Odyssey on X (formerly known as Twitter).

The opening seven minutes of The Odyssey – which I watched, so you don't have to – was put together in 'creative collaboration' with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker.

Charting Odysseus' first journey out to Troy, the footage (if you want to call it that) features stilted line deliveries, uncanny AI actors, and a battle scene that might send you to sleep.

It has led to widespread criticism in the comments, with some decrying the project's results as "soulless" and "terrible."

In July, X owner Musk continued his outbursts against Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, writing, "Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer."

X then offered three cash prizes of up to $100,000 for prompts that show "what Grok Imagine's video and voice capabilities can do."

Mercifully, we have an Odyssey adaptation – from Nolan – that does the source material justice.
