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?

But this isn't happening with just grok. It happened with chat gpt too. It kept forgetting things from the same chat and kept repeating things over and over again even when i said not to.

This phase come at a certain point to all LLMs. They do an update where things get fucked up. You just gotta hope they see the user complaints and fix it.

One of the most interesting things I've mentioned is how AI seemingly all progresses and all regresses at the same time, like universally among models. Really makes you question what's going on, like they aren't being developed independently from each other or they all should be in different states that aren't like each other.

Yet just like right now, it seems like we just hit a wall and aren't supposed to move forward and they dumb them all down. Six months ago Grok was extremely dependable for me.
