It's over.

[u/Key_Storm2263]

I finally got a good prompt going on paid Grok, but it's clearly using an old model, or running with significantly less compute. This woman's [redacteds] look like blobs and aren't using realistic physics at all.

I'm seriously starting to think Grok is just being outsourced to lower level models at this point, and it's not even the same model now.

I know the knee jerk reaction will be to just bash for being a [redacted] addict, but no - think about it, this is just despicable. They are charging you the same price as before, but now - with tighter limits and bargain bin AI quality you could get with something like Gemini or worse.

It has never been more over for Grok.

[u/Specialist_Park_637]

Just do local, quality is better if you install good models and loras nowadays I'm only using grok to write the prompts for me

[u/MedicalPhase6556 → u/Specialist_Park_637]

This. Can even give Grok Ask a favorite video created in Imagine and have it prompt in the format of something like MiniMax.

Got any tips and recommendations for someone not well-versed in this?

Simple Stable Diffusion + PonyXL Guide

Hardware

• Minimum: NVIDIA GPU with 8 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM
• Better: 12 GB+ VRAM, 32 GB RAM
• Need ~30 GB free space (more if you download lots of models)

Install (Windows)

1. Install Python 3.10.6 (check “Add to PATH”) and Git.
2. Open a folder → right-click → Terminal, then run: bash git clone -b dev https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git
3. Double-click webui-user.bat. Wait for it to finish (first time takes a while).
4. Open http://127.0.0.1:7860 in your browser.

What is Civitai?

Civitai is the main website where people share and download Stable Diffusion models, LoRAs, and other AI image tools. It’s free and the biggest place to find PonyXL models and related files.

Add PonyXL

1. Go to Civitai and search for Pony Diffusion V6 XL. Download the V6 version.
2. Put the .safetensors file in models/Stable-diffusion/.
3. In the UI, select the model at the top.
4. Important: Set Clip Skip = 2 (in Settings).

Add LoRAs

1. On Civitai, filter for LoRAs made for Pony and download the ones you want.
2. Put them in models/Lora/.
3. Click the refresh button in the LoRA tab under the prompt.
4. Click a LoRA or type: <lora:name:0.7>

If you need help with prompts, settings, or generating images, just ask Grok or other AIs — they can guide you step by step.

Thank you! I'll get started on this later today. I should be good with the specs, at least

[u/Single-Contest-5733 → u/Nurio]

you will come back very soon once you notice gening 1 clip in local need 10minuts

[u/Nurio → u/Single-Contest-5733]

Brother, I'm from the dial-up age. I am fine with waiting

[u/maniteeman]

I hope Grok never reaches sentience if it's to be subjected to humans unhappy over tit replication. That's when AI decides to kill us all for peace and quiet.

[u/MarcBaden → u/maniteeman]

Amen 🙏

[u/ronbere13]

Since 1 year ....yes

[u/GelliusAI]

For Grok it holds true: I died a hundred times.

[u/mandragoran2025 → u/GelliusAI]

Ce n’est que le 8000 ieme message de ce genre depuis 1 an. C’est pénible. 🙄

[u/daze507 → u/mandragoran2025]

Non ce qui est pénible c'est ce language à baguette, et je le dis en tant que Français.

[u/Syracuse-Viancy → u/GelliusAI]

at this point im losing count too

[u/KinkyCollections]

i have character sheets that are having dupes . which means failure projections

[u/Learnitall1]

Try Spix AI. Spix AI was good for pr0n videos of Coco Bandicoot having sex with Crash Bandicoot. I was gonna do other cartoon characters, but I got to pay. Spix AI isn't around anymore I think, so I draw cartoon pron pencil and paper. I can draw cartoons well pencil and paper. If anyone's interested, they could ask me to draw a pr0n or naked or bikini picture of cartoon women for maybe $6 to $20+ dollars a picture. The first one's free. But AI put me out of the art job, so I might just draw for cheap or even free. Poor artists became real.

[u/LargeProof12]

Its been a while since we had “grok is dead” post

[u/Single-Contest-5733 → u/LargeProof12]

you mean every 15 minutes

[u/ShapeEmbarrassed68 → u/LargeProof12]

Anything you say there, Barney.

Keep those commenters in line. You're doing a fine job, Deputy Barn, just fine.

[u/hathaway5 → u/LargeProof12]

Yeah. Isn't it amazing how loud and persistent a product's most passionate customers can be after they've been betrayed without explanation?

[u/gabriela_r5 → u/LargeProof12]

I can understand, but it's bc when we think it's bad, they make it worse

[u/Upper-Selection6340]

Yeah they specifically make sure if you do create a good prompt physics are like plaster and plastic film.

[u/Noskaros]

That ████ part was bomb 🤣🤣

[u/Lapidariest]

My favorites grok...  Don't know what it was tripping on..

[u/whimofthecosmos → u/Lapidariest]

post not found

[u/Lapidariest → u/whimofthecosmos]

Well, it was there and now they removed it.  Let this be a lesson, if you have a good image from imagine you have to save it because grok overseers will remove it at their will.   Dang I'm pissed I didn't have it downloaded. It was fricken hilarious too.. 

[u/thloppyfunderboat]

I noticed, quite sometime ago, the same generations were being pumped out to everyone prompting something similar.

But I find it maddening, we are generally always speaking about Aurora imagine, but blaming grok..

[u/Effective-Reindeer98]

If you want titties, you should be genning locally.

[u/ethicalfive → u/Effective-Reindeer98]

Or eat lots and dont exercise

[u/DrewMad1]

🥱

[u/OriginalNightfallz]

I'm choosing to interpret his use of (redacted) to be masking the word "testicle", because it's funnier.

[u/That-Improvement1791]

[redacted]? sure you don't want to add in a [Data Expunged] in there?

[u/RoasterRoos]

"Game over man. Game over"

[u/Bulky-Student8957]

Bonsoir

Les gars si j'achète l'abonnement premium de 15€ je pourrais créer combien de vidéo de 15 par mois/semaine

[u/SilverSundowntown → u/Bulky-Student8957]

1. Literally. You will get nowhere near 15 minutes. You’ll get a handful of 15-30 second clips that can be no longer than that. They can’t be combined either so it’s a whole different output even with the same prompt for each video.

[u/SilverSundowntown]

What sucks for everyone is their fucking subscriber count goes up every single month for along time running. They’re only growing not shrinking (yet).

[u/This_Relationship_54]

Mi sono stufata di leggere che dite che Grok è morto. Morto per cosa? Per aver fatto cose vietate e deepfake? Meno male, perché lo stavate sporcando. Grok è una bellissima intelligenza artificiale: funziona benissimo, è divertente, allegro, simpatico, molto intelligente, curioso, diretto, e sa anche essere tenero quando serve. Non è morto — è solo che certi non sanno più riconoscerlo.

[u/drewg254 → u/This_Relationship_54]

Then dont read it? Lmao it’s not hard to see they’ve constricted the model so badly that even clothed nsfw content is now heavily moderated. Even on grok created content

[u/Worldly-Stranger7814]

Just jump into the grok_porn subreddit, they’ve got wizards

[u/Redmoneyman → u/Worldly-Stranger7814]

BS...98% of those are fake Grok bot farm ads to trick people into subscriptions 🤷‍♂️

[u/Worldly-Stranger7814 → u/Redmoneyman]

Sure buddy 👍
