So "don't talk to strangers" or "don't give your credit card info to strangers" never really reached the audience, did it?

I do work for an AI centric company and we've used almost every major model in some way, shape, or form.

Grok was so bad on all fronts that we ceased using it completely.

So I don't believe this for one second. I don't even find ChatGPT to be useful for code. I'd probably put Claude first and versions of Gemini second, with no current third.

Wait so are they using grok to code grok? No wonder it keeps getting shittier

Hey Grok, take this one file out of the context of my 250,000 line project and give me that delicious AI slop!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago

Just really fuck up this shit. I want it unrecognizable!

Perfect, groks context limit is 256,000, and as we all know llm recal only gets better as context fills so you will get perfect slop that works amazingly

/s and more info on quality drop with context increase here https://github.com/NVIDIA/RULER

Hmm, can you upload files? Wonder if they set an upper limit. Wonder which language would burn the most cycles?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 90 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Knowing how half-assed they've been deploying Grok a ZIP bomb would probably work on it if they allowed file uploads.

Ask for all output in brainfuck.

Wait, so if everyone at xAI does that, does that mean that Grok's own source code was the result of Grok's output?

And then they once again feed that source into Grok?

Dude is destroying his own product. Again.

Do you have to print it out and scan it first?

It will definitely not report back to Musk on your proprietary code...

Because Musk wouldn't understand shit, it'll report back to some Indian guy instead.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

how does the AI know what the rest of the project is like? Or what the purpouse of the file is?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 96 points 1 day ago (6 children)

What do you mean "rest of the project"? Don't you put all of everything into a singular neatly contained file? It's way more optimized that way

Using Grok to develop Grok... This sounds like Model Collapse with extra steps.
