Engineer jimmykoppel recounts a painful 4 days with Grok Bot doing DNS setup across 3 websites: it silently waits for login input with no notifications, can't log in with pasted passwords that work manually, its remote VM blocks pasting (forcing manual typing of complex passwords), can't install the LastPass plugin, and forgets form data after logging out — he gave up and went back to doing things manually.
