There is bad blood between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and both tech executives have expressed their animosity toward the other which almost led to a cage fight. While the fight did not happen, both executives are still competing against the other over who has the superior social media platform, but more importantly, which AI model is the better one.
Musk has previously touted that Grok is the all-knowing, sassy, and woke AI chatbot online but has received criticisms for it, while Zuckerberg’s latest rollout from Meta with Llama 4 touts its capabilities to answer objectively.
Meta’s Llama 4 vs. Grok AI: Who Is the More Woke?
The rise of AI chatbots having a significant presence in social media began when Musk delivered Grok AI to the world via X, his Everything app, which also features an “all-knowing” chatbot.
However, that does not mean Meta is left behind as, when the company rolled out Meta AI, they had been pushing massive developments for the Llama model, which is best known for prioritizing the open-source availability.
With the massive shift in social media now as Meta recently removed its third-party fact-checking body and opted for Community Notes and X known for starting this trend, the spotlight is now on their chatbots.
According to Gizmodo’s report, Meta’s blog post which announced the new Llama 4, its most advanced model yet, confirmed that its AI chatbot is “less woke” and compared it to Elon Musk’s Grok. However, Musk is known for claiming that xAI, his AI startup company, has designed Grok to be woke, a chatbot that is opinionated and human-like in its answers.
Still, Meta claimed that the new Llama 4 is less woke like Grok, but the company designed it so that its goal is to remove bias from its AI models and offer objectivity on questions about certain topics. According to Meta, its latest design for Llama centers on a more responsive chatbot that can “articulate both sides of a contentious issue” and would not favor any side.

Despite Meta admitting that its Llama 4 chatbot is not woke, it draws a comparison to Elon Musk’s Grok. Moreover, Meta claimed that it made the chatbot experience on its platforms “less liberal” compared to previous capabilities, particularly as the company faced criticisms for lacking right-leaning ideologies.
What Meta wants the world to experience is a balanced chatbot that can address both sides of the same coin and is pushing for this “less woke” ideology for artificial intelligence.
Previous developments on chatbots have seen them exhibit negative behaviors or traits from humans and are typically leaning towards presenting a bias in their answers to certain topics, especially controversial ones.
On the other hand, there is still a massive problem with artificial intelligence models’ tendency to fabricate information if their training data is already at its limit as they resort to making up answers instead.
