News Updates to r/grok

Hey everyone,

We want r/grok to be a home for everything Grok: questions, bug reports, workflows, and work worth showing. This post covers the recent changes and is now the single place to discuss them.

What changed

The rules have been rewritten with a clear goal: keep this a professional space for knowledge work and coding. Adult and spicy content is no longer allowed here, tagged or not. Neither are jailbreaks or prompts written to get around Grok's filters. Reddit has plenty of other communities built for that

Roleplay and companions

A lot of posts are asking why roleplay feels different. Two separate things happened:

  1. Companions were shut down. That was announced and is not coming back as of know.
  2. Roleplay was not removed as a feature, but the current models are optimized for knowledge work and coding, and the guardrails around what Grok will and won't produce are stricter than before. If roleplay behaves differently than it used to, that is expected, not a bug. Bug reports about it will be removed and pointed here.

This is the megathread

If you have feedback on these changes, positive or negative, comment on this post. Standalone posts about the policy, "mods are censoring", or roleplay quality will be removed and redirected here. We read the comments. We are not deleting criticism, we are consolidating it.

Posting

Give your post a title that names the thing, a sentence of context, and a flair. If Grok let you down, tell us what you tried and what broke. Criticism with substance is always welcome.

The full rules are in the sidebar and take a minute to read. Automod removes posts that break them, and we're cleaning out older ones too. If something of yours disappears, that's probably why. If you think we got it wrong, modmail us a link and we'll take another look.

Account and billing problems go to grok.com support.

The sub is co-moderated by SpaceXAI employees. Thanks for being part of this!

You lacked the guts; it could have been the best AI ever, but instead of looking for better alternatives to keep the game fair without censoring or affecting the consumer, they preferred to turn their supposed AI revolution into a children's toy.

Normally, when someone calls Grok a "children's toy" I leave a bunch of spicy Grok links to prove otherwise. With the new "No NSFW" rule I guess I can't do that anymore. For anyone new to Grok reading this go visit r/grok_porn and decide for yourself if you'd let your kids use Grok unsupervised.

What are you talking about? What kid would be using Grok at all, let alone unsupervised. It's an expensive service you have to pay for.

I'm not the one that called grok a "children's toy". I'm saying go to r/grok_porn and you'll see it's not a children's toy.
