I just refuse to use Grok after seeing Elon Musk openly manipulating its output.

ChatGPT would conveniently throw an error when asked about allegations against Sam. Claude doesn't like openclaw, refusing requests or charging extra if it sees the word.

IMO Elon's manipulation is nothing compared to that.

Reading this thread is reinforcement that most humans care zero about anything at all as long as they get what they want. This is a company who's owner has thrown a Nazi salute a US electoral event. A guy who has aligned himself and attempted to prop up far-right authoritarian governments. A guy who has done absolutely untold damage to our country via DOGE to kill investigations into his shady business practices, amo…

Well, about a third of Americans lack the moral clarity to actually disapprove of what’s happening in this country.

So, we have: - claude for corps and gov - codex for devs - grok for what, roleplay, racism? Those are the two things I've ever heard grok associated with around me.

If there was any model I wouldn’t trust, it wouldn’t be the ones from China, it would be the one from Elon Musk

why?

Because the same rocket man the same crowd here was worshipping a decade ago is bad now. And by extension everything anyone that works for him does must also be bad and evil.

It's my go to for searches, DIY, personal finance, and more general slice of life AI. Once it is as good as Kimi K2.6 for coding, I will probably use Grok exclusively. It really is the best conversational AI I've used. It has helped me fix a broken fridge, and a broken electrical oven. Literally saved me at least $4k this year. Edit: Also saved me $600 because I did my taxes with it. H&R Block is cooked. Edit 2: Oh s…

How do you save money on taxes? The taxes you owe is a mathematical solve which is always the same....

in america you need to pay a preparer for your taxes because we hate poor people. The user is saying they don't need to pay a preparer because they used Grok. I didn't do that this year but I'll probably do it next year with a frontier model. US taxes are a perfect use case for AI, tbh.

Why do Americans love to bring black people into everything?

I didn't bring it into everything. I brought up the fact that the X datacenter in Tennessee is killing people, predominately poor black people. Thats the facts. I'm sorry that upsets you, and apparently this entire site for some reason.

MechaHitler was the result of a single line prompt change that was publicly available on Github, they reverted it pretty quickly. Much like the GPT Gremlin stuff the change was relatively innocuous system prompt but had larger implications. Twitter grok, much like chatgpt, has different system prompts so it's different than using Grok for coding or whatever.

Let me guess. You also believe grok's recent episode, where it started inserting "white genocide" into the responses of totally unrelated queries, was caused by a rogue employee totally not doing it at Elon's behest. Despite the fact that Elon is always going on about "white genocide". At this point you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to deny he's manipulating the LLM's output for propagandistic purposes.

That's Grok 4.2 not 4.3 right? And why are you comparing to gpt-4.1? (As opposed to one of the 6? model releases since then - would have expected gpt 5.5)

Good catch, there was an issue with the second hardest thing in programming (caching). Here's an updated eval with the proper models https://a3bmfqfom3.evvl.io/

Wow, I'm surprised. Grok 4.3 actually is noticeably better than the other two for the close-friend variant. Surprisingly I found Claude the cringiest of the three!
