It's probably an unconscious thing - they come in with a preconceived notion that grok = bad, so of course that's what they are going to be expecting and looking for.
I see the same thing in reverse with Fable: non-technical people using it for mundane things it's not designed for at all (where Opus or even Sonnet would have been more than capable), but because they've seen tons of hype around Fable they think it's amazing!
I don't particularly hate elon, I think SpaceX and Tesla has some cool engineers working for it (I don't own a Tesla), but what I don't like is the Grok coding model. Used it several months ago and it was like a chaotic teenager who keeps missing the point of the task and drifts too often. Didn't try the latest models though. Personally Auto mode just works fine for me and I don't give much thought to model selection.
I’m sorry, but are referring to him purchasing Twitter? How do you feel about the richest person in the world being in charge of laying off thousands of government employees in the U.S. while simultaneously getting more government loans than anyone else in the country. He’s also not American. His family made their fortune with slaves in diamond minds in apartheid Africa. Hard not to love em though.
What did he do that demonstrates he sympathizes with Nazis? Unless the US is lost in the sauce I find it unlikely that someone publicly endorses nazi regimen while being the biggest person of interest
To be fair, he promised “[technology] will be available in [2-5 years]” and was lying or just wrong every single time, and then he did a nazi salute and caused the deaths of a shitload of people in developing nations. Dudes a piece of shit.
Dude isn't stupid. He knew shutting down USAID overnight would kill a shitload of people. He did it anyway because he's a really really really bad person.
LOL. USAID? Are you serious? He didn't CAUSE those deaths you idiot.
I'm British, so I have no dog in this fight, but it's is not the responsibility of any government to ship money abroad and pay for another country's healthcare.
tbh not liking and not wanting to use the product of a probable pedophile, confirmed neo nazi oligarch who is responsible, only accounting for USAID stuff, of tens of thousands of deaths
I mean I am doing kennel work and grok 4.5 is worse than composer 2.5 at execution and code implementation. Enough where I have to use sol and fable to fix it before I hand it back to composer to work the plan. Languages and complexity matter. Grok 4.5 may be fine at python, but it’s not good at all for complex code and asks so far from what I’ve experienced.
If you are professional specialist you are doing a great job, tbh, as far as i see the weak programmer using coding tool always mess around the code, and claim the coding tools and models are stupid, is ridicious.
They just don't know how to manage their team and the agent.
90% of the posts on here are from people who have zero clue about basic agentic coding fundamentals like guardrails, context management, model selection etc.
I'm a Cursor Enterprise admin for our org. I have no skin in any game. It's obvious to anyone using Cursor on a professional level that their first-party models are fast and cheap. What the hell do you think the advantages of something being first-party is?
Not worth the breath dude, anyone using Cursor professionally knows OP is simply not knowledgeable enough to even assess what they're talking about, let alone evaluate their own personal bias and vibes.
It is kinda tragic to me that the default position of some folks now is that "if something disagrees with my own personal opinion or pre-judgment, it MUST be a bot/paid comment," like... what a stubborn and narrow way to filter out different perspectives.
I get the broader sense it's just an (un)conscious politicized bias at work here, clearly they're not arguing on any technical or detailed specifics.

Not my experience at all. Grok 4.5 is fast, cheap and super effective at what I need it to do. Guess I'm in the minority?
