I've been teaching myself physics lately and have found Grok to be one of the best both at coming to a correct answer and helping me to understand how to get it myself. It also seems a lot better than other models at saying "I don't know" or pointing out when my question doesn't make sense.

  I'm just trying to get it to help me learn physics. If my topic of interest shifts to mid-20th century European history I'll keep what you said in mind.

    You're supporting a company that makes a model that has been intentionally directed to think that white genocide is a major problem today. You do you, but that's a very morally implicating choice you're making.

      That's your misguided opinion masquerading as fact. In no way is he a nazi or any of the other ad-hominem attacks y'all throw here. You'll probably point to one instance of an awkward gesture, like Elon isn't awkward. Clearly hearing him talk, he's not a nazi or racist.

        That wasn't really an ad hominem attack. If you're going to use the model to learn history you're going to learn the version of history that the model teaches you. A little bit of digging around grokpedia should give you some idea of what that model thinks

        Was in reference to GP's "neo-Nazi" comment and similarly expressed HN users here. But you may be seeing your bias if you think grokipedia is wrong. Probably being used to leftist editors on wikipedia would do that. Or maybe it's somewhere in the middle for some events. You can always validate sources and determine for yourself.

        Nothing wrong with that. All the information without choosing a side. Even though we all know what happened. Only other notable thing was the end of most bellwether indicators.

I bet any flagship model would do as well if you prompted it with how it should do it. Comparing grok vs Gemini vs GPT vs Sonnet is like comparing mid-high end CPUs. They're all about as good as one another for most work.

Grok has one of the best reasoning and halucination benchmark scores.
