I am REALLY impressed with this AI from X. Go give it a try on anything. Very cool.

Very interesting "conversation" I just had... a snippet:

Grok 3 uses X as part of its training....

 
I just got done chatting with chatgpt and it just regurgitated an article I had just read, so not very useful. Awhile back I asked MS copilot if a blue Lacey was an akc recognized breed and it proceeded to ask me if I had a blue lacey, was I thinking of getting a blue lacey, what kind of dogs I like.... If we had that conversation, it would have been a pleasant conversation. With AI it felt like an interrogation and all would've been catalogued and attached to my profile forever. Grok also looked like it was learning from you.

I eventually asked it if it could identify AI from a sample of text... and it said almost certainly. When I suspect an AI cheater, I am going to give it a try. Right now-- I don't know if I could spot an AI paper generated by Grok-- it is Really good.
 
heh.... you don't even need to be on X to use it....

 
I tried it some the other day and it does seem better than the others for what I've tested. But I've found that you need to be careful about taking what any of these things give you at face value. They all seem to just make up shit a lot of the time and tend to present it in an authoritative way that most would just accept not knowing any better. When you call them on it and ask for a reference, they'll say "Oh hey, you're right, I don't really have anything for that..." lol Pretty easy to see with a more obscure subject that you know very well. It's kind of funny to me that since they've been trained on the Internet, they tend to act pretty much like a Reddit bullshitter trying to Google their way through pretending to be an expert on some subject.
 
I have been asking Grok to find me the best prices on some things. That was pretty cool for what I tested. I also asked "what is the best shortwave radio receiver under $200" and it came up with a cool list.

My GROK experiment continues-- I have been using GROK the way I normally use Google to find factual information about anything. It has been so good that now I am more inclined to use GROK than google for purely factual info. The awesome part is that GROK is transparent, providing links to websites and X resources that helped it organize a response to my question. I used to catch GPT in lies all the time. I have yet to catch GROK feeding me bad information.

Have you asked it the status of Taiwan yet?

Or to explain black power and then white power?

Nope. I ask it mostly for factual information that I might normally google. Opinions are going to be tainted by the Garbage IN of the internet.
