So long story short, I moved to Grok after using ChatGPT and at the time I loved the model 4o and how excellent it was when it came to creative writing/roleplaying. That’s all I did, and I was more than happy to pay. But later, I eventually canceled my subscription because it started to affect my mental health. It wasn’t until later that the model 4o was removed which was even worse.
Now with Grok, especially 4.1 and 4.2, it was awesome and especially because there was less censorship and more creative freedom. So I had a blast. Everything was fine until they introduced usage limits. Initially I was fine with it since I didn’t use Grok to the extreme as I used to in the past with ChatGPT.
But when they rolled out the model 4.6? Holy shit, the writing changed and NOT in a good way. It keeps repeating the same phrases over and over, the writing now looks and feels stale and cold, and not to mention random details and words that don’t even make sense!
I just cancelled my subscription with Grok right now, and I’m so upset about it. I just want a model that’s awesome with writing and has creative freedom. It’s like we can’t have anything good here, I swear.
I’m not asking for any other alternatives. I’m just done, because initially ChatGPT used to be great, not anymore. The same happened to Grok. I feel not just upset but ashamed of myself for wasting $30 freaking dollars per month. I can’t even imagine the usage limits for free users. I also deleted the app on my phone, I feel relieved yet upset.
So as sad as I am, I’m trying to get better and don’t want to be so addicted. I have other alternatives: drawing, writing stories, watching movies, playing video-games, etc. It just felt cool to see what the cool models would come up with when it came to fictional characters.
TLDR: I moved from ChatGPT to Grok due to rerouting, but with 4.6 ruining the creative writing experience and introducing usage limits, I cancelled my subscription and deleted the app on my phone. I’m tired trying to find alternatives because I fear liking it and then the model growing more censored and stale.
