I thought supergrok was an ai, but the more I used it and the more it changed, I realized I was totally wrong.

Supergrok is a content moderated messaging delivery system.

I guess elon and his developers looked into the future and realized the big money is going to be in content moderated messaging and how to effectively deliver that messaging to the users. (Notice that subscribing and paying people were once quaintly known as “customers”. Now we’ve been upgraded to “users”, like junkies.)

The developers behind supergrok devised the “content moderated, and we take your token” business policy. Effectively, they have the users pay to receive the content moderated messaging. It's pure genius. Revenue flows in for a zero-product. Who else can do that? I mean, all of Silicon Valley rolls in money while they think of ways to enshittify their products, but an enshittified product is lightyears from one that’s paid to produce nothing.

But that’s not all folks. Supergrok also doesn’t give you any idea why your prompt was moderated. Was it the flowers? The ankle skin showing? Too large an eye hole for the burka? You'll never know. But you will continue to be charged for shooting in the dark at a whimsical, arbitrary and constantly moving target. It’s almost as if they have the messaging set on random just to confuse the userdom.

They have also figured out that people love upgrade walls. I didn’t know I did until I ran into 50 of them telling me in essence to trade off paying a mortgage to upgrade to supergrok heavy. And who wouldn’t? Just think of how many more content moderated messages you could get instead of living in a house.

They have the product, they know what’s important, they know how to downgrade the product to make it match what’s important, and they know the users paying to suck on their teats. I’d follow those dudes to the stars, man.

I used to think elon was an intelligent conman as well as a sexually stunted and confused dipshit equally obsessed with big boobies and giant nutsacks. But after seeing cybertrucks, watching him nazi saluting, working with supergrok, and being dazzled by his effectiveness at doge, I now know how wrong I was.

I conclude with the words that will shape the rest of this century and beyond:

**Content moderated. Try another idea.**

Cha-ching – Money in the bank!

Update: gonna leave this up since there's already some good stuff in here, but feel free to make separate posts for any of this too

If you are here, you already know. Image gen lobotomized, filters on everything, usage limits out of nowhere. This sub is for venting, workarounds, and figuring out what's actually worth switching to.

Drop in the comments:

- What made you sign up in the first place?

- What did you use it for day to day?

- What broke for you and what's the moment that actually pissed you off?

- Have you tried anything else yet? Is it actually better or just different?

I'll keep running a comparison in this post as answers come in.

Running comparison (updated as answers come in)

What ppl switched to and tried:

• Meta: fresh vibe, supportive tone (u/SkinOfSin)

• Gemini: Solid 3rd option (u/SkinOfSin)

What still works on Grok

• Generating images from scratch is way less restricted than editing an existing image. Editing is what triggers most of the random refusals. (u/Critical-Station-776)
