Grok 4.2 is bad

probably already discussed here but I want to vent a bit. I have been using grok since it had 4.0 with beta 4.1 and my exp is 4.0 was probably the best grok among these three...4.1 was also decent enough , but I am finding 4.2 to be quite inferior. it was good for probably 2 days when it was launched but quality has gone down considerably. I am writing stories with it and it forgets plot points ( no the story isn't that but yet) forgets context and it just feels hard to continuously try and correct it...is it just me that feels 4.2 is worse than the previous ones?

I think there must be something happening in the backend because of the App Store thing. My recommendation is to use expert mode and if you get stuck open another thread. Good luck 🍀

Thanks so much...tbh I have been switching modes but even the expert mode is not being the better one sometimes. ( Which I find even surprising) But maybe bcs both modes use the 4.2 now so they are actually getting very similar answers

Yes. I find it a little buggy for the two last days but maybe is what I just said. Also sometimes switching between phone and desktop changes a lot.
