User deletes Grok Bot again over clumsy execution and model opacity

A paying user lists three reasons for dropping Grok Bot: it picks the dumbest approach, runs tasks serially without checking, and refuses to say which model backs it.

I've deleted my Grok Bot again. I tried. I really, really, really tried. Here's my observation: 1) Grok repeatedly chooses the dumbest way to do things. You have to spoon feed it and hold its hand on basic tasks that no other AI struggles with. Down to the point that you have to micro manage it. Unacceptable. 2) Grok has zero consideration for user time. It does things in serial, doesn't check, and you have to constantly check on it like "hey buddy, where is this work?" and it's like "Uhh... oh yeah that process hung..." it's like working with your brother's stoner friend. 3) Grok utterly refuses to discuss which model is backing it. It's got very Woke Right vibes like "you just have to trust me bro" like no, I'm paying for a service, if you're not going to be transparent, I don't care. It's one thing if that model is instructed to be opaque (which is idiotic to start with), but there's no dashboard to see what model you're using. Grok remains the most disappointing model out there. Full stop.
