> the obvious astroturfing that occurs on this site (along with reddit, etc.) when it comes to Grok isn't helping. All I hear about Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc., are how terrible they are, yet any discussion of Grok seems to always revolve around sensible, but confident, assertions that it's actually a great product and every new release is the point where Grok finally catches up. this is the exact opposite of my experiences on HN and Reddit. In my experience, Grok is typically reduced to hitlerbot and CSAM generator and rarely taken as a serious competitor. People let their hatred of Musk blind them to the tech of his companies
