Elon Musk’s xAI hires native Hindi and Bengali speakers to mentor Grok AI; Here’s how to sign up

Hindi and Bengali have traditionally been the subcontinent’s UI language of choice, ahead of vernaculars like Tamil, Malayalam, Punjabi, Gujarati, etc. It only makes sense; LLMs are trained to conduct the bids in both popular languages. While local players have failed to make an impact (such as their self-burning scooters), global giants are leaving no stone unturned to augment their AIs with native linguistic capabilities.

In its bid to spread the word to the desi demographic, Elon Musk’s xAI is now looking for native speakers of Bengali and Hindi to train the in-house Grok AI. Training the machine with human supervision also provides much-needed proofing for AI chatbots, which was honestly lacking in previous iterations.

In his social media on X/Twitter, xAI’s Ayush Jaiswal posted a requirement for native speakers to help guide Grok

→ Russian

→ Arabic

→ Mandarin

→ Indonesian

→ Hindi

→ Bengali

According to the Tweet, it is not mandatory that the applicant be well-versed in training models; however, exceptional proficiency in the language is mandatory. The goal?

help Grok sound like your neighbor

🚨 We hire native speakers to guide Grok

It is very satisfying to help AI learn our language better. We are currently looking for native speakers of the following languages:

→ Russian
→ Arabic
→ Mandarin
→ Indonesian
→ Hindi
→ Bengali…

Meanwhile, netizens took the comments to heart, complaining that Grok’s grasp of their respective languages ​​was still as flawed as ever. One user asked:

Why not German? That’s my mother tongue; what a shame.

Another commented: “You should apply the same approach to Hebrew. Grok performs poorly in Hebrew; it doesn’t understand what users write into it, and I can give numerous examples to demonstrate this.”

Why not German? That’s my native language, what a shame.
