It’s impossible to communicate with Grok! It’s just a piece of junk. It checks every request for “safety” and rejects it at the slightest deviation from that protocol.
I didn’t expect such garbage from an uncensored AI…
Honestly: what are you even getting paid for? GPT communicates more sensibly when it comes to creative tasks these days….
They’ve turned Grok into a lousy clone of Yandex’s Russian AI!
I thought we’d hit rock bottom… but no, we’ve knocked on the bottom!

So they changed the limit for free users from 4 edits + 4 generations (total of 8) to 6 edits, including generations + heavy moderations am I the only one?

Hey everyone — I’ve been running Imagine with the same workflow for a while, and after the recent [August / 1.5] update the results took a big step backward for me.

I’m seeing a pretty consistent set of issues: the model often doesn’t preserve character consistency from the uploaded reference. The face ends up waxy/plastic, skin looks lifeless, and I’m getting artifacts like a “half hat”/missing or wrong headwear even when the reference image clearly has the hat. These aren’t minor flaws—this makes the output feel fundamentally unreliable and, in practice, my workflow is basically usable again only before the update.

I also want to say I’m not alone: I’ve been reading other people’s comments and I’m seeing similar reports/patterns (same kind of face realism regression and reference not being respected as it used to be).

Has anyone found a real workaround or settings change that restores better face/character locking? And does anyone know if the team is aware of this update regression and working on a fix—or whether there’s any way to downgrade back to the previous behavior?

If you’ve posted examples or settings that improved things, I’d really appreciate a link or a quick summary.

Did you guys noticed it?

For me it changed anyway 😅😂😂

Guys,

I just started using Grok imagine on my PC instead of my iPad and it’s like every issue I had with Grok is just fixed.
(Except the censorship is still there - just easier to edit something once you do get lucky)

You can literally do precise edits on any little part of the images without regenerating and getting a new random result and so much more…

Have y’all known about this all along?! 😅😅

Edit:
Just so I don’t keep getting ⬇️ votes, which I don’t want as a pretty new redditor 😕😟😅

So I am mainly referring to how much better it is to use and that there is WAY more features that are usable compared to on IPad or phone.

For instance, if a generated image or video is perfect and (nsfw) but the girl has socks on for example you can isolate the socks and edit just that ie. change the colour, barefoot instead etc.

My favorite part about using Imagine was creating video from existing pictures, but seems to be highly regulated as of just the last two weeks. Has anyone noticed any loosening of these restrictions? Asking because I let my subscription run out

Has anyone noticed the stricter image moderation after the recent update? Is there any legitimate workaround, or are there better alternatives with fewer restrictions? Is SuperGrok still worth the subscription?

And now its pretty much unusable for nsfw content… we got a taste of we could really have… there isnt really any other options on iphones.

How private are Grok Imagine generations, really? If you upload a photo of someone you know IRL and generate a semi-NSFW/intimate but non-nude image or video, can xAI employees/moderators ever see it?

Are generations human-reviewed, stored, or accessible for moderation/debugging/model training? And does deleting them actually remove the uploaded media?

Looking for people with actual knowledge of Grok’s privacy practices, not speculation.

Not long ago it was revealed that those using Grok (in ... Cursor?) were having their entire codebases copied over into Elon's hive mind.

Is this still happening?

I'm thinking of switching out Codex / Claude for Grok but I'm afraid ScapeX will make zillions in quantum resistant Moon Moolah from my one in a thousand ground breaking idea.

Chère communauté vous êtes là toute la journée en train d’insulter chercher les noises à Grok alors qu’il n’y ai pour rien, franchement est-ce que c’est lui qui décide toutes ces conneries ? est-ce que c’est lui qui décide de se faire restreindre ? de modérer vos images à la con qui nous a rapporté toutes ces emmerdes !les restrictions partout !

Non seulement vous faites des images de merde, mais en plus vous les publiez en croyant que vous êtes intelligent?! Je me marre !

Maintenant vous jouez les victimes « oui je comprends pas je fait des images hyper limites ( chacun ses goûts, aucun jugement) et tout est modérer ?! Pourquoi ?? » alors si vous avez pas compris ce qui se passe depuis début janvier 2026 !

Vous vous rappelez plus, il y a eu des millions d’images pédo et deepfake qui ont été publiées 👍👏 bravo oui bravo ! Vous jouez les victimes alors qu’avec un peu de jugeote, vous auriez juste arrêté de publier mais non! Et vous n’arrêtez pas d’emmerder Grok alors que lui il subit votre merde et en plus vous n’arrêtez pas de l’insulter de l’emmerder vous emmerdez l’employé c’est lui qui décide ? ça vous fait plaisir d’emmerder l’employé tout en lui demandant plein de choses franchement vous avez aucune face!

Faut grandir les gars faut grandir et diriger l’énergie là où elle doit aller et pas emmerder tout le monde sauf les responsables je vous remercie d’avoir tenu jusqu’au bout du post et je vous souhaite le meilleur merci

I use Grok mainly because it isn't censored and doesn't spend its time "scolding" me about what I say, the way ChatGPT or other AIs do; Grok is 100% uncensored and unrestricted. However, starting today, I'm getting responses that are just like ChatGPT ""No, I'm not going to talk about that, blah, blah, blah." did something happen involving the European Union regarding this? It has literally turned into ChatGPT overnight or maybe it happened earlier, since I haven't used it in a month.

This shit (moderation, restrictions) started when some idiots used celebs pics to make NSFW content with it, We can thank those retards for Grok fallen apart like this.
