Decided to play around with Grok some weeks ago. To be honest, didn't see any appeal to move away from ChatGPT & Gemini in favour of Grok.
My suspicion is that Grok won't be a long-term player in the AI market.
EDIT: Gut feeling, no strong reasoning behind it, might very well be wrong.

Grok is way ahead in GPT in coding and reasoning. Far better at research as well.

What would make you think that? Is it the fact that Elon is burning diesel generators to power it all? Or that his average employee tenure is about as long as a Taco Bell crewmember? I can't imagine that the few hundred people in the world qualified to work on this stuff at a frontier level wouldn't want to be a part of that.

Before the incident:
> GSA leadership continued to push for the agency to roll out Grok for internal use. “We kept saying ‘Are you sure?’ And they were like ‘No we gotta have Grok,’” one employee involved with the discussions tells WIRED.
Then:
> “The week after Grok went MechaHitler, [GSA leadership] was like ‘Where are we on Grok?’” the same employee claims. “We were like, ‘Do you not read a newspaper?’”
The political appointees were intent on getting Elon's product on contract even after it went full Kanye.
This is one of the many reasons it sucks that the Supreme Court is intent on letting us return to the spoils system.

Say what you will about Hitler, the man _did_ kill Hitler.
