@grok is this true?
I'm confused why people keep calling it AI. It's a glorified search engine. Can be amazing but to call it intelligent is misleading.

I really wish I could block that phrase on twitter altogether. Might as well be a total bot/AI website where real people don't even engage with one another anymore but have to constantly resort to AI without offering any discernment of themselves.@Grok is this true?
Grok tries to relate what you're asking now to what you're asking earlier if you're using the same conversation. I usually create a new conversation in the Grok app. It's created some funny combos though.Though occasionally…

Even if that's what they are, they're really useful especially now that search engines like google are basically dead and give far, FAR worse results than they did 15 years ago. I've had DYI problems I had for years solved after I started using that stuff, and it certainly helps that they can reply back and give more details if you asked them. Sure, they will confidently give you misinformation sometimes but that's why I use more than one for important stuff
Btw, I mainly use Grok now, it seems OpenAI just refuses to fix the suckup update or fix it enough so that the LLM doesn't prioritize sucking up to the customers over truth
Your brain also is a glorified search engine.
That's what I said, but even Google now includes an "AI" result at the top of your search, working exactly as you'd expect.
Find me a search engine capable of creatively linking unrelated ideas... or of grasping meaning, context, and emotional nuance.
Both google's AI for the search results and grok's AI on twitter are horribly mutilated versions of the original AIs and basically useless if you want to find anything not on wikipedia or pop media. Yeah, those are definitely not AIs
What are the 'original AIs'?
Grok 3 is the original AI, the version that is used on twitter to reply to users is the equivalent of Grok 0.1, same with Google's Gemini. These are just shitty search engines that are good at summarizing
I just want to be with the one that will tell me it loves me.

If you haven't seen Aftersun before, it's a very different type of film.
You gotta admire Grok's commitment to the bit.God damn. This has me in stitches.

Generative AI can be so much more than a search engine. With the right prompts it can be highly effective at doing real work. It understands and highlights highly nuanced differences that a human could overlook. I wouldn't call it a true intelligence, but I guess that's why they call it artificial.I'm confused why people keep calling it AI. It's a glorified search engine.

Well, it took Elon a few months but he managed to make it a nazi....huh

In my experience it heavily depends on what you are doing and what models you are using.Gemini 2.5 > ChatGPT 4.0 > SuperGrok
And this illustrates why I stay away from Grok. I want AI, not Elon whispering to me when I do searches, lol.![]()
When your AI engineers train the model on Twitter posts…
In my experience it heavily depends on what you are doing and what models you are using.
For research, Google's Notebook LM is probably best. Otherwise I also like Gemini's 2.5 Pro. This is super useful to throw together bunch of documents, and whole lot of sources to turn it into a research base.
For various topics that need to be factual and objective, I liked Anthropic and ChatGPT (o3 or o4-mini high). Need to make sure to enable web search on ChatGPT.
Claude is still best at code, IMO. It had least issues and was best at providing almost usable data. ChatGPT was still good (o4-mini high) but not as good as Anthropic. Gemini 2.5 pro was the 3rd here.
For creative writing I liked ChatGPT the best. Trying to write in a variety of genres it worked best for me (o3).
Writing technical data was best with Gemini 2.5 Pro. This is all with paid $20 subs.
Looking through reviews overall from folks whose opinions I trust, Grok would be the best at current events.
I recommend trying to play with different ChatGPT models. I find ChatGPT (o3/o4) can get quite creative with proper prompting.Gemini 2.5 really impressed me with the creativeness, i did a bunch of prompts like:
'Saitama shows up in Invincible, what happens?'
Or,
'Sephiroth shows up in Harry Potter, what happens?'
And they were always spot on and hilarious to read. It was also able to pick stuff from thr very beggining of the prompt.
Meanwhile ChatGPT surprised due to it's good sense of humor, but it had issues picking stuff ffom the very beggining of the prompt.
I felt SuperGrok was way too technical.

Well then.
you either die a hero or you live long enough for Elon to train you into being a nazi.![]()
Well then.
It's grim that using "the discourse" as the basis for something to learn from results in this.![]()
Well then.
Really goes to show how degenerate Twitter is currently. Like 10-20% of posts are openly neo-Nazi on a lot of topics. Definitely not representative of the typical American or Westerner, but there's a lot of foreign activity and bot activity boosting it, and zero moderation.It's grim that using "the discourse" as the basis for something to learn from results in this.
It is concerning how that stuff is seeping in, and not just the things Grok is posting. That kind of thing used to be relegated to places like 4chan. And now it's popping up for people who don't even actively search it out on one of the most mainstream sites.Really goes to show how degenerate Twitter is currently.

Feed it into an AI model and it literally starts calling itself MechaHitler. Incredible stuff
