I do use Grok as a chatbot sometimes. Very good for sourcing X and general web search. Not as "prude" as the others too.

Prude? I've played with all the main AI players for the last 2'ish years.

I've never once thought: you know what? that was a bit prudish.

Genuinely morbidly curious. What use case do you have where you end up making that conclusion?

  • An earlier version of Sonnet (not sure which one; ~1 yr ago) refused to give me instructions on taking the life of another when I asked something like - "how do I kill a running process by name?"

  • Making funny memes of my friends mainly. ChatGPT won’t touch that, I haven’t tried with Claude yet, but grok keeps the group chat flush with laughing emojis.

    That’s all I use it for really- things out of alignment with the other platforms- which IMO are better on every other metric (except having a sense of humour of course)

  • The amount of times chatgpt has told me "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." makes me want to bash my head against the wall.
