They noted that all current LLMs make 12-year-old level 1-step reasoning mistakes and write terrible code, ultimately costing more time than they save if left unattended. However, Grok's distinct advantage lies in its speed, making it highly effective for tightly scoped code changes and significantly boosting development efficiency.
