People love memes on social media, whether it’s to make friends laugh or to say something in a fun way. But the question is: how long does it take to make a meme? If you try xAI’s Grok, it gets done in less than a minute.
Grok is a smart AI that quickly understands what you say and responds. People on X are saying it now has an image generation tool called “Aurora,” which turns text into pictures in just a few seconds. Even Elon Musk posted “true” on X about it, which you can check out there.

For example, if you say, “A cat dressed as a superhero,” it’ll whip that up in 3-5 seconds. Grok-2 was fast, but now with Grok-3 and Aurora, the speed has leveled up. If you just want a text-based meme, like “When your friend says ‘I’ll be there in 5 minutes’ but it’s been an hour,” Grok writes it in 10-15 seconds.
One X user said it gets done in the blink of an eye. Want a meme with a picture? Aurora works its magic.
An X post mentioned a meme of “a cat saying ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter’” being made in 5 seconds. Sure, I have to ask first, “Hey, you want an image?”—but even then, it’s all wrapped up in under 30 seconds.
Regular meme tools like Canva or Mematic take 30 seconds to a minute, but Grok is way faster, especially with text. X users have praised it—one wrote, “Meme ready in 5 seconds, so much fun!” Another said, “Making images with Aurora is a breeze.”
Aurora launched on December 7, 2024, and people are testing it out; some get 3 free images daily. xAI built Grok to work lightning-fast, and Aurora’s been trained on tons of internet pics, so it creates “photo-realistic” images. Plus, Grok’s a pro at understanding you, so no time’s wasted. Bottom line: it’s true that “making a meme on Grok takes less than a minute.”
