Who the fuck uses Grok
(hexbear.net)
I figure it's basically the same crowd who pays for Twitter, that is, piggies
Most probable answer. I don't know any of them maybe that's why it seemed to strange to me
You've gotta remember that these are simple posters. These are people of the tweet. The common clay of the new west. Y'know, morons.
And Grok's quality, from what I've seen, is pretty sub-par.
It's just using the default Flux checkpoint AFAIK.
I also assume that under the hood "grok" is just some open source LLM model they did a finetune on or something. It came out of a gutted company with absolutely no lead up and no research papers, on the demands of the dumbest and most easily grifted man alive. He obviously just told someone to make it happen and they grabbed claude or something, did a couple of weeks of training, then presented it to him so he could bark and clap like a trained seal.
@[email protected] is this true?
I used it the other day to ask it about white genocide in South Africa and whether Elon Musk was behind it. It gave safe answers to all my questions and also today I couldn't log in to my twitter account but honestly, good riddance.
Really makes you think.
(I'd never used it before and now never will again)
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
People use Grok because it's integrated into twitter. All the top twitter posts have Grok in the replies now. It's like the new community note or "fact check" on twitter.
Cybertruck enjoyers
I’ve been using Claude.
The primary defining characteristic of slop machine users is favouring convenience over accuracy. So slop machine users on twitter.
It's not like the variety of convincing lie machine really matters, if you're manipulating text you've input they all do about the same and outside of that they're unreliable and kinda stupid.
I once asked for coding help to test it out and it said "yeah, I ain't reading all that"
Haven't touched it since. It's sad to see how many bots ask it for help or fact-checking...
I'm constantly told that half of the software industry is vibe coding, but if you ask it for anything that hasnt been done 500 thousand times it will fail every time
nobody uses it on openrouter
I had a very long conversation with grok.
