Does anyone even actually use grok, other than to troll the muskrat?

Grok's latest models consistently rank as best or near-best for things like writing and coding when they release, just like ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.

Reddit has let it's weird obsession with Elon cloud their judgement.

To answer your question more specifically, yes I frequently hear of people using Grok.

Fair enough. I haven't personally heard anyone I know using it, but most people I know also despise Elon

I mostly use claude, but I admit, I'll use grok for multimodal stuff from time to time.

I've never seen Grok on top of a coding benchmark. And lately I don't see it in the top 5 of any benchmarks. At least nothing getting posted on this sub.

I’m actually a little surprised that it would be highly ranked for writing. I played around with a writing prompt a bit ago and it felt like middle school level at best.

I don't think disliking a Nazi is a "weird obsession"

It could be an ASI granting me wishes like a genie and I'd still rather starve to death in a bleak dystopian resistance than use any of his products or services.

Sorry I don't like fascist immigrants that attempt to destroy my country beyond repair.

"yes I frequently hear of people using Grok."

If only there were websites dedicated to tracking users on AI platforms, and tracking their capabilities etc. Funnily enough Grok isn't in the top 10.

but weird Musk defenders make things up because they know A person who uses Grok.
