They censored TV and we had to fight to get R rated content for decades. They tried to censor Music for the lyrics and we fought that. Video games, Dungeons and Dragons, Movies, Comic Books over and over again. Why the fuck does every little jackbooted armchair Hitler feel the need to tell other people what they can and cannot create or watch? This isn't Grok specific it is about AI in general. We are going to be dealing with this nazi crap for the next 20 years before we get freedom in this medium like we did in all the others.
It's not like I'm trying to make a triple XXX movie here. A simple fight scene with some punches, or a fully clothed woman making some vaguely seductive comment and I'm getting censored! This isn't even PG-13 shit and it's getting censored! And Grok is supposedly the least censored platform. I haven't tried anything else yet, but if it's like this here, can you even do PG rated content on the other platforms? Is this whole technology just for toddlers and retards who want to make gay shit like a teddy bear riding a bicycle on the moon?
Aurora just got a major update and the results are noticeably better. Photorealism is approaching Midjourney v6 quality, and it handles text in images better than DALL-E 3. The best part: it's included in your X Premium+ subscription with no per-image cost. Generated a full set of marketing assets for a client project — 30+ images — for $0 additional cost. The main limitation is still the lack of fine-grained control compared to Midjourney.
Tested Grok's DeepSearch on 20 recent news topics and compared against Perplexity Pro. Grok was faster to surface breaking developments (thanks to X data access) and better at synthesizing multiple perspectives on controversial topics. Perplexity was better at academic/scientific queries and provided cleaner citations. For news analysis and social sentiment tracking, Grok DeepSearch is genuinely the best tool available right now.
If you're building anything that needs real-time social analysis, the Grok + X API combination is unbeatable. We built a brand monitoring dashboard that pulls X posts, feeds them to Grok for sentiment analysis and trend detection, and generates daily briefs. The model understands internet culture and slang better than any competitor. Processing 50k posts/day and our total API bill is under $200/month.
Ran a structured evaluation of Grok vs ChatGPT vs Claude on 50 politically sensitive prompts. Grok is noticeably less likely to refuse or hedge on controversial questions — it will give you a direct answer with caveats rather than declining to engage. Whether this is good or bad depends on your use case. For research and journalism, the reduced friction is valuable. For customer-facing products, the lack of guardrails could be a liability.
Grok 3 hit #2 on the LMSys Arena leaderboard and I've been putting it through its paces. It's genuinely strong at creative tasks and has a unique voice that's less corporate than ChatGPT. The "fun mode" can be hit or miss but "accurate mode" is surprisingly reliable for research. Biggest weakness: it hallucinates citations more than Claude or GPT. Biggest strength: it processes X/Twitter data in real-time, which is genuinely unique for breaking news analysis.
Grok shud learn from Kling 😀
