r/grok

tested only on I2I, in chat, a prompt that wouldnt go through a few days ago are now working again. y'all just need to try things out yourself.

I'm hearing whispers that the uploaded I2V moderations are easing back a bit. Really hope so because It's been weeks since I actually used Grok for... anything.

The defintely rolled it back.

Your voice is your wallet.

Well done folks.

I'm a SuperGrok Heavy user. Already cancelled after their Image 2.0 release, but subscription is still running until the start of September.

For the last 1-2 weeks, something happened that has never happened before: I had problems even remotely reaching my weekly limits. Even with their deteriorating service, and ever increasing restrictions, I always had creative ideas for interesting projects, and was getting value out of it, though I've been constantly criticizing xAI for every bad decision.

Now, with the release of Image 2.0, the decrease in quality and capability of their text-to-image and, more importantly, image-to-image, it has become so bad, that it became almost unusable for me. It is so inferior to the previous quality model that it breaks my heart that they're simply taking a great tool from us, and feeding us with cheap AI slop, while selling it as "progress". All on top of the ridiculous increase in moderation which is an ongoing theme for all of 2026, which will probably lead to fully sanitized and SFW content until the end of the year.

They already put a halt to all of my ongoing projects with their Imagine 1.5 releases for video and references-to-video (though it isn't all bad), because they suddenly changed all the voices of the characters in my AI movies. Yes, you can now use "voice references", but only for their small selection of stock voices. Great. Doesn't help. Heavy moderation is making everything difficult and frustrating, even when you know how to prompt around it.

They have deteriorated the product so much, and sucked out all the fun from it, that I hardly feel the need to use it anymore, and every idea I have immediately hits a wall. And, you never know if something you can do today, still works tomorrow. I've also been dabbling a lot with local generative AI (Krea 2 + MiniMax H3), which is much more interesting right now to me, and creates astonishing results. It's already very usable, but I'm seriously thinking about beefing up my hardware, despite the steep prices.

So, yesterday I still had 40% of my weekly limit left (think ~4 SuperGrok weekly limits), just hours before my reset. Since I don't want to give them a free pass, and don't want to waste anything, I took a single prompt, and created 20 videos to fill my limit. 20? Yes, it was a slightly "spicy" prompt that caused 10-20% moderation only 1-2 weeks before. Now, it was moderated over 90% of the time. And the results? All of them were the most boring interpretations of the prompt you could think of. On top of really bad "AI physics" and obvious attempts to make the video less "spicy".

They are actively fighting creativity and fun, and are turning everything into sanitized, corporate-safe AI slop that doesn't offend anyone. I don't care anymore. It's time to move on. Grok Imagine has finally managed... to simply bore me.

Even if you want to change someone's hair or clothes, it gets instantly rejected. Anyone else notice this?

In my experience, I think image since last night has improved significantly compared to when it released 1 week ago, if they can continue tweaking it, we are looking good.

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?

Anyone else noticing changes to moderation?
Looks like the “make boobs bigger” prompts are back

I'm a free user and up until today I had zero issues uploading file and zips and having grok work with them, but all of a sudden now all of that functionality is gone and it can't do shit. I give it a zip of files to work with and it tells me it can't open it. I give it the individual files and it says it can't do anything with it, and then tries to explain that it could NEVER do any of that to begin with. What the fuck is going on?

Me, using the image edit function, trying to compose actual scenes to make videos with consistent characters and locations, using multiple reference images.

Me:

>Put character from reference sheet @1 into scene/location @2.

Grok:

>Here. I copy-pasted the character into the scene. Anything else?

Me:

>No! That's... not what I wanted. I want you to fully integrate the character into the scene, in a specific pose. Also adjust the lighting and everything.

Grok:

>Here. I created a completely new character, and put it into the scene you wanted.

Me:

>What? Who is that? That's not my character. And why does it look so... fake and CGI-like?

Me trying again 10 times, always getting the same character, but not the one from my reference image/s, no matter how I prompt.

Grok:

>It looks vaguely similar. It's one of our average-looking stock characters for easy re-use. Is that not enough?

Me:

>No, it's not. Now, take that image, and make the character look exactly like in the reference image @1.

Grok:

>Ok. Here is another version of our stock character, but I tagged it as a celebrity now, so it will be highly moderated.

Me:

>What? Why?

Grok:

>You asked me to make the character look like someone specific. You are clearly trying to create a deep fake of a real person.

Me:

>Wtf? Why do you have to be like this???

Note: The only parody is that Grok Imagine doesn't talk back like this.

Grok é ótimo para gerar imagens de qualquer conteúdo seguro.

Grok é ótimo para fotos e vídeos softcore.

É simplesmente horrível para criar NSFW (muita moderação sem necessidade).

Resumindo é muito caro para o pouco que estão oferecendo e com limitações cada vez mais agressivas. 🤮
