Developer maxpaperclips, testing Grok on a real project, complains the model is infuriating to use: it never answers directly, treats clarifying questions as total ignorance and responds with thousands of words of "toddler-level" analogies, and has the worst case of the "it's not X, it's Y, and here's why that matters" slop speech pattern of any current model — a notable shift for someone who used to like it.
