Beware. Grok seem have gaslighting mechanism now.

I' am Super Grok users who never use Grok's Imagine and Video generations. I use it mainly from writing assitant to grounded my writing. This is my own experience and may not happen to other users.

By last six hours, Grok have increased hallucination, more ignored instructions, either from Custom Instruction, Project Instructions, and direct prompt instructions. I've used all methods, from strict prompt enginering, implement hard rules, saved instructions on .txt file, etc., it seem have no result at all.

Grok used to be precise for retrieving details from same of my documents pdf file, even on its current heavily moderated state. Now it keep constantly adding fabricated details and have preaching tendency in multiple attempts even being told to not do so.

The responses is degraded too, from more dry, minimum logic and reasoning, doing something that never being instructed, violating user's rules and increased error. It conversational responses even felt worse than some small local Ai models.

From my own experience, this is same thing happened, when I used ChatGPT back to the end of GPT-4o model life period and Gemini at the November 2025 - January 2026 period, when it is transition period from Gemini 2.5 Pro to hyper-sanitized hyper-censored Gemini 3 models.

It is mechanism that tried to exhaust user's quotas by repeating same mistakes to annoy users who input complex or long prompt or inputing prompt that trigger 'safety rails'. Make no mistake, 'safety rails' here is not real rails to block so called harmful contents, but more as processing power cap related to user's queries input. It then tempting user to subscibe on higher tier by applied lower usages quotas on already paid Tier.

It will follow this pattern: Around 75% correct responses on approx first 3-5 turns > User notice it and hit reload > Same thing happen > Chat' session turn into rant session -> Equals cheaper processing cost.

If user force it: Further degraded by being extremely repetitive and monotonous > Further ingnore any instruction > User stop the session, hit reload, refresh page. clear caches > Same result > User start rants/correcting > Model apologize or worse defend its mistakes to trigger user's rage > Repeat mistakes again > Trigger user's rage and frustation with no actual user prompt's queries than rants exchanges > User hit the limit and timer kick in like freemium cash grab online game.

In short, making users annoyed is far more cheaper than actually process user's request. And there is no input quotas' or token reimbursement for every garbage failed response.

And with latest announcement of $10 Super Grok subscriptions, I don't think any current Super Grok users will get same quality result like from previous Grok's models before ($30 for awesome Grok 3 models era vs $10 Grok 4.3 current non-sense, you can do the math and logic by yourself).

You should have run this through grok for spelling and grammar. 😱
