I find it funny that people are still calling Grok "mechahitler" as if that weren't prompted by trolls and the AI model is going to set up concentration camps on every block.

You know, feel free to keep thinking this. In my experience Grok is the best. I don’t let myself into weird groupthink that happens just because trolls took advantage of Grok’s absence of lobotomy. Kind of a superpower.

I feel compelled to point out that the Mechahitler thing was prompted by bad actors hiding invisible tokens in tweets, but sure, it's maybe an unpopular opinion.

Basically, the major free options out there for LLMs are OpenAI, Google, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Meta, and Grok. (I could be missing stuff here, but those are the main players.) DeepSeek is out because of China ties. OpenAI and Perplexity have CEOs that seem incredibly shifty to me. I refuse to give Meta and Google any more info than I have to, so I'm avoiding them. Hence we fall back to Grok. Again, maybe not a completely logical progression, but it's my choice and I get to live with the consequences :)
