For a lot of people, Grok is the first AI they got to use through Twitter. Grok does get quite a lot of usage, and isn't out of the game - coding tools aren't the only use case for AI.
- bdangubic 4mo agothis is like saying people still use google glass. sure, some people might but AI-wise it is as dead of a product as it gets
- Saline9515 4mo agoGoogle glass has been discontinued? Besides, many people use it on Twitter everyday. Usage is not limited to what you can see on the Openrouter dashboard.
- bdangubic 4mo agomany people use copilot inside outlook to auto-complete their sentences as well :)
- Saline9515 4mo agoMeaning that Copilot is actually a success, even if you don't like it ;-)
- pqtyw 4mo agoBecause Microsoft managed to sell it to a huge number of companies, not directly because people are using it. Hardly anyone is paying for Grok.
- Saline9515 4mo agoUS government is paying for Grok to help it send bombs on Iranians. That's a use case.
- bdangubic 4mo agowith this thinking I wish that all your products are as successful as copilot is ;-)
- Saline9515 4mo agoA bad product can be successful with the right distribution. This is what happens with Grok and Copilot.
- pqtyw 4mo ago> Twitter everyday So what? How much money is that making?
- jerojero 4mo agothese users are probably losing the company money. the failure is in converting regular people into actual ai product consumers. Companies are realising that the money is not in regular consumers but in enterprise and they are not considering grok as a serious alternative. if anything, the name, the branding and the x/twitter affiliation has hurt adoption from money makers rather than help it. so yes, people know it, but no one is willing to pay for it
- Saline9515 4mo agoDepends, Grok stimulates engagement and pushes to stay on the plaform and feed it data. If anything, it helped justify a massive valuation for SpaceX, which is a metric of success for most corpos.
- pqtyw 4mo agoIt helped the valuation but as just like SpaceX hallucinations about the space data centres. Doesn't mean its not a crappy low end model itself. Btw is Twitter even making any money?
