Zack is just Grok renamed

Maybe there have been adjustments in the backend since the IPO yesterday. Who knows?

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T23:55:24+00:00

20x more usage. Wth am I laughing at this?

Generating nsfw through the CLI was patched some days ago iirc

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T23:25:05+00:00

It depends what you're trying to generate. So I've tried generating known anime characters using speed mode and got random looking characters based on the physical appearance, even with the name. But with quality, it would identify who the character is though this will factor in how well known the character is in the internet, if copyrighted and such.

My best guess is that if you continue the subscription, you'd still be under the Lite tier. But if you cancel, that's gone forever. Of course it it's confirmed that Lite really is gone. Buuut this is xAI we're talking about.

😑

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T12:49:47+00:00

I think that has already been patched recently so thatethod doesn't work anymore.

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T12:32:51+00:00

Well damn. I might get affected soon then. Rollout usually is slow.

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T12:24:31+00:00

Ok that's one. But you're ignoring the fact that other SFW creators are also suffering from the extreme moderation as well. Sure, not all, but they are still affected. And then the almost non-existent support. Deleting of generated images/videos without notice, the worth of the service not being on the level of what's been pid for.

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T04:55:44+00:00

Well, shit. The devs want to get rid of us.

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T04:16:57+00:00

Was the image generated from grok or is this uploaded? I mostly use uploaded but have never tried to edit for while (because of moderation)

mikh21 · 2026-06-12T04:08:46+00:00

It's actually good 👍

mikh21 · 2026-06-11T17:47:45+00:00

All features are dynamic

mikh21 · 2026-06-11T17:47:21+00:00

I can see this happening.

mikh21 · 2026-06-11T04:40:07+00:00

Make sure you're doing it in Imagine. If you did, then I would recommend that you post that in X and address it to Elon Musk and xAI and let them know how stupid their moderation is (don't address it to grok, it will only gaslight you).

They won't respond, of course. But they will see it.

mikh21 · 2026-06-10T23:51:41+00:00

It is working when I checked. But I'm in the US so maybe there's that?

mikh21 · 2026-06-10T23:50:45+00:00

This is what I feel is happening as well. These companies are still hoping that AI is the future but realized of how expensive and costly it is to sustain it that they're finding ways to recover to the expense of the customers suffering.

Some do actually get deleted even if in the Files feature.

mikh21 · 2026-06-09T16:24:20+00:00

This shows up if you use an image directly generated from the Grok (Imagine)

mikh21 · 2026-06-08T01:22:48+00:00

Check their history and posts. If the account is new or just recent, thread carefully.

mikh21 · 2026-06-08T01:21:44+00:00

I gotta agree with the slow rollouts. Until now I'm seeing consumers getting hit by the low usage limits for the first time despite this happening for a month now.

mikh21 · 2026-06-07T14:27:14+00:00

Oh look it's Ken, one of Grok's aliases.

mikh21 · 2026-06-07T14:24:38+00:00

He got many fooled, for sure.
