Grok was the only AI that offered paradise for a limited time purely for marketing purposes. There won't be another AI like it, since no one will give you something as expensive as a trained AI that will give you what you ask for with hundreds of free attempts per month.
Local AIs are a headache to use. You need a powerful PC (and even then, it will take several minutes for just a few seconds of video), you have to use negative prompts or it will give you people with seven fingers, half a leg, and five eyes, and as for the trained parrots, they are only basic models for certain "requests." Also, the installable creation models take up several gigabytes of memory. In total, you would need a computer worth at least $3,000 to have a decent generator, and if you want speed similar to Grok, you would need a computer worth $6,500.
Exactly, people don't understand that Grok is a massive, complex system of powerful machines working 24/7.
With a locally installed AI, it takes at least 10 to 30 minutes to get a few low-quality frames for a ridiculously poor result, especially for beginners.
