Legends say that if you put your source code file in Grok, it'll print out the code and it'll land on Elon's desk.

Elon will browse through it and pretend to understand it, then tweet out insults and emojis and says you're fired. Even though you were never employed by him anyway.

how does the AI know what the rest of the project is like? Or what the purpouse of the file is?

Wait, so if everyone at xAI does that, does that mean that Grok's own source code was the result of Grok's output?

And then they once again feed that source into Grok?

Dude is destroying his own product. Again.

Using Grok to develop Grok... This sounds like Model Collapse with extra steps.

I do work for an AI centric company and we've used almost every major model in some way, shape, or form.

Grok was so bad on all fronts that we ceased using it completely.

So I don't believe this for one second. I don't even find ChatGPT to be useful for code. I'd probably put Claude first and versions of Gemini second, with no current third.

Hey Grok, take this one file out of the context of my 250,000 line project and give me that delicious AI slop!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago

Just really fuck up this shit. I want it unrecognizable!

I find that without being able to see the rest of my IDE it makes no sense to just paste a single class worth of code at a time in there, it has no context for the rest of the application

He probably thinks that the entire application is only one source file

You've heard of monorepos, but have you tried monofile development?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

He also thinks that the number of lines of code produced is a relevant measure of productivity, so him not understanding this isn't super surprising.

Wait so are they using grok to code grok? No wonder it keeps getting shittier

If you drag your computer file to the box thingy it will be rendered

I substituted every single include into a single 166 000 line file and sent it. Grok froze :(

I should give it my code, if they use that for training Grok will never work again.
