The thread argues that Grok regressed on a simple but error-prone task: enumerating long lists accurately.

It reportedly included MLS when it should not have.
Even after that was removed, it still miscounted teams in Baltimore and Las Vegas.
The core criticism is that the model kept producing defensive commentary instead of checking its answer carefully.

The reply claims older, “dumber” models handled similar long-list consumer queries better a year ago.
