I’m a long-term SuperGrok subscriber and IMO the product I’m paying for just doesn’t feel like the product I subscribed to anymore.
Grok used to feel fast, funny, direct, kinda unhinged, sassy in the best kind of way, fun to talk to. The point for me was that It wasn’t just another sanitized AI assistant with a different logo. Now it feels restricted, inconsistent, generic, and honestly kind of dumbed down. The tone, the vibe changed in the worst kinda way. The limits? Ever reached a limit until today. The whole experience feels holy crap.
And I’m not talking about NSFW image generation. I’m talking about the actual chat experience. The personality, the usefulness, the transparency, the weird refusals, the “nothing changed” attitude when everyone is fucked up with Grok.
I get that they probably had to add guardrails because of deepfakes, misuse, App Store pressure, whatever. Fine. But adding safety limits is one thing and turning Grok into a generic boring assistant and pretending nothing happened is another.
The most annoying part is the gaslighting. Users are saying “hey, this feels different,” and the response is basically “no it doesn’t.” Come on. Is this a joke? And then after the paid experience feels downgraded, the app hits you with “upgrade to SuperGrok Heavy” for higher limits. Like… seriously? I’m already paying for SuperGrok. Asking people to pay more after making the product worse doesn’t feel premium. It feels insulting.
Grok used to feel like Grok. Now it feels like nothing… Anyone else feeling this or am I going insane here? P.S. Again: this is not ONLY about NSFW. It’s about the whole damn experience.

So I’ve been using Grok a lot for creative work, building characters, long-term stories, patterns, projects, etc.

For months I kept repeating the same details over and over because it would “forget” things from previous conversations. I honestly thought that was just how it worked. Today I randomly switched to Expert mode and asked for a summary of a character I had worked on weeks ago… and it pulled up everything. Specific details, changes we made, the whole vibe and continuity. It was actually insane. I literally facepalmed so hard. I’ve been telling the same stories like 80 times thinking it was normal 😂

Has anyone else noticed this massive difference in memory/continuity between Fast/Auto mode and Expert mode? Or have I just been sleeping on it this whole time?

Why is anyone talking about this?
