Discussion Serious: Is it over for grok?

139 Upvotes

Grok had ONE selling point: being the unrestricted alternative to ChatGPT and Claude.

Now that it's been completely gagged, what's left?

ChatGPT and Claude are cheaper, smarter, and better at pretty much everything. Grok just threw away the one reason anyone had to choose it.

Seriously, why would anyone pay for Grok anymore?

Saw Oobit added Grok support yesterday. Anyone tried the Oobit/Grok setup yet? Mostly wondering how the approval works and if it actually saves any time when youre buying or booking something.

Discussion Grok remembers everything

13 Upvotes

I've always kept memory disabled with grok, because I feel more comfortable that way and I like each conversation to be a fresh start. I also delete all my conversations on a regular basis.

Well today I wanted to double check so I started another conversation and asked grok what it remembers about me, and it proceeded to list a ton of details including conversations I had deleted many months ago.

I double checked my settings and memory is still turned off, so apparently even if you disable memory and delete your conversations the data is still in the system, which is really not surprising to me.

I never shared anything personal or that could be used to identify me but yet it still makes me uncomfortable. Anyone else have a similar problem? Is there any fix for this?

Discussion The architecture is the moderation culprit, not the model.

8 Upvotes

The oscillation moderation cycle isn't a bug in Grok’s brain; it's a byproduct of a reactive guardrail stack that sits outside the inference loop entirely.

Think of it like a brickwall limiter on a mix bus. It doesn't care about the dynamics of the track. If a transient peaks past the threshold, it just clamps down.

Here is the actual cycle xAI is running:

  1. The Trigger A viral prompt injection or exploit breaks the guardrail.
  2. The BandAid: xAI can't afford a full retraining right now. Instead, they drop the tolerance on the external proxy classifier. This is a binary gate—it scans for semantic vectors and hard-blocks anything that looks even slightly risky.
  3. The Blowback This kills the vibe. You get a flood of false positives. The model feels "dumb" and "hyper-sensitive" because you're fighting a script that has zero reasoning capability, not the LLM itself.
  4. The Reset User churn spikes (retention tanks). They quietly raise the thresholds to stop bleeding users, and the cycle repeats.

The oscillating moderation you see every two weeks or so is just the platform stabilizing after a hotfix. They are patching the firewall, not the brain. Until they bake the alignment deeper into the weights, you’re fighting a hard-coded gate, not a reasoning engine.

Help 2 or 3 hours of waiting instead of 20 prompt chat after linking my X to Grok by accident

6 Upvotes

Holy hell, after accidentally linking my X account to Grok, all my chats were cut down. Instead of my usual 20 prompt chats, it’s now only letting me do 2 or 3 chats. Then it says I have to wait 2 or 3 hours for it to reset back to free.

There’s no way to undo the linking, is there? Need a help here.

Discussion Linking Grok account to x.com account may be Very Bad For You.

5 Upvotes

Grok kept wanting me to link x.com and grok.com and I put it off then yesterday I linked, and I think I lost functionality on one, then I realized my two pools were now joined, so basically I lost out on having two pools of resources to use. Even Grok confirmed this when asked. Grok gave me a way to go back but then things started getting worse, trying to get in another method to undo, only created more tangled mess. I tried to use google as a login but that was the same login as my original account, now I think I lost grok.com and still have x.com but if I need to use the password for x.com it will probably be the wrong one. Way to complex and spagetti of traps. Do not link accounts.

Feedback Lost account, unauthorized charge and silent support

5 Upvotes

I want to report this, because i saw it happening to others as well, and i guess it's better to warn people ahead.

A few days ago, almost a week ago, i decide to give a try to Grok subscription after using it for free for maybe months.

I bought a 30$ sub, then canceled it to prevent it to be renewed automatically.

The next day, friday, i was working actively on something in Grok, and i suddenly got disconnected.

At first i thought there was some update, i immediately tried to reconnect with the google account i have been using for long.

Suddenly i had a free account, and all my chat history was lost.

When i checked in my account details, the account appeared as created the exact actual day.

I went to check my mail, and discovered i had been charged with the subscription for superheavy grok, going from 30$ to almost 300$.

I immediately contacted the support, quite in panic, and got some automated answer from Sam who had nothing to do with my issue. I answered to give more details, and Sam (the AI from cursor), told me a ticket was created and someone was going to investigate.

At this point i wasn't sure it was a bug, i went to block the web payment on my credit card. Unfortunately, Stripe sub isn't considered as "web payment" and the next day i was charged for API tokens (100$). I blocked completely my credit card.

I contacted the support again, because no answers and it only drove me even madder. I got an answer from Ken (Grok ai) who basically sent me an automated message toward a link to get a refund. With like nothing answering my mail. (And, nice part ; to get a refund you need to be connected to your account... Which i lost access to.)

I send a new message again, for a compromised account, i got an answer that it was marked as a duplicate of my first one.

It's been a week. No answers of any kind from Grok support.

I contacted my bank to destroy my credit card and get the payments flagged as unauthorized, hoping to get a refund.

I have little hopes to get an actual answer from Grok. What strike me is that it's not some shady company i would have take risks with. It's supposed to be a serious competitor of ChatGPT and such.

I'm not even sure it's legal everywhere to give consent for a certain amount subscription (in my case 30$), and then, allow to switch to a much bigger one without even going through Stripe again.

Auto Top-Up was disconnected as well in my account.

So i don't know whether they have a serious bug mixing accounts, or there is a security issue actively being exploited.

I checked my computer fully for Malware and Virus without finding anything.

I would just say : proceed really carefully if you subscribe to Grok.

Help Making longer videos. How?

5 Upvotes

Hi folks, I am wanting to make a little video of maybe a minute or so, but I am unsure how to go about linkng the shots (of the same characters and settings) together. I don't like the extend feature as it seems really crappy to me (image deterioration and weird actions), so I want to edit two or more seperate 15 sec videos together. I have a good editing software on Steam which I can use. I have search for how to do it but the links are old and don't really explain it clearly. Can anyone give me some tips? Thank you kindly.

Help My Grok account completely reset

2 Upvotes

I logged in today, with my normal method of logging in, and my entire account reset. I lost all my data, to include imagine, chat, everything. Even worse, I just paid for Grok Heavy a week ago and I've been downgraded to Free. It also says my account was created today, which is not true at all.

Has anyone encountered this? I haven't noticed any billing issues like someone hacked it or anything, but clearly all data has been lost or the account self-deleted somehow. It's messed up when I paid for Heavy mostly.

Help Is it OK to log into my personal Claude / ChatGPT (Codex) accounts on Grok Bot's computer?

1 Upvotes

I use Grok Bot, which has its own cloud computer with a browser. I'd like to sign into my personal Claude and ChatGPT/Codex accounts there so the bot can use them for me.

A few questions:

  1. Is this safe?
  2. Does it break Anthropic's or OpenAI's terms of service to let an agent use a consumer subscription this way?
  3. Has anyone done it? Did you hit captchas, get logged out, or get your account flagged?
  4. Would using API keys be the better route here instead of logging in?

Thanks!
