As soon as i read the author used grok as an ai assistant, i was somehow less interested to keep on reading. Not because of the usage of ai, but the chosen provider. (I don’t know whether grok is just the best choice for this kind of work.)

Is it wrong to judge people for their choice of ai providers?

I think when your political views cloud your ability to take in information on an objective level, it might be bad.

You can just not like Elon, doesn't have to be political at all.

I think it's hard to say. Grok is pretty good and also fairly free with good usage limits.

Every single AI company in my opinion is committing fairly grave misdeeds with the ruthless scraping of the internet and lack of oversight.

Not to mention the shady backdoor deals going on with big tech and the current administration.

Grok is also pretty bad with its whole gas turbines in one state and datacenter in another and some possible environmental issues

It's more of a pick your poison at this point

> also fairly free with good usage limits.

But doesn't it need to have such free usage in order to overcome image problems? Referring to itself as a Nazi [1][2] for example.

It's worth interacting with all models. In my experience, for programming questions grok delivered better answers than ChatGPT (and Claude) often enough that at some point I wasn't sure which model I should be asking first.

No, because it allows us to evaluate the type of person you are. For example, I can tell you're a member of Bluesky.

Which AI providers have access to real-time Twitter data?

[2gremlin181]

Genuinely curious, what are some use cases that you require live Twitter data in your LLM for?

[blibble]

when has anything of value been posted on twitter?

[sroussey]

Ones with better answers. Twitter dumbs down grok.
