Groking around on the dark side

Signed up for an X Premium Plus account. Was using Gemini for image generation and AI chat but Google have made the interface unusable on my old browser so I had to look for an alternative. Wanted to start creating funny robot memes to get the Facebook group laughing as oh this hobby is way too serious.

Thought Grok could help with that, only problem is image generation is working but chat is not. Maybe I have to wait for my blue check mark to be reviewed. If not it could be because I’m using an iPhone 6s running iOS 14 and the X app requires iOS 15. I’m using the X web interface and not the app but maybe think Grok might not work on my old browser. Might have to buy a new phone to get full functionality, was holding out for an X phone but may just have to go with Apple.

Had to pay using my debit card details via Stripe, process all took place on X and was e-mailed the receipt. No ID was required, think that is only needed if you want to be a content creator and get ad revenue but am unsure.

Grok is very fast at generating images. Although prompting for robots always gives strange results on all these image generators, shows how niche this hobby is that there aren’t enough images to train them on what any popular companion robot looks like.

Anyway having lots of fun. Incredible some of the stuff AI comes up with.

Prompting is hard though!




 
Is anyone getting this time out error saying “Seems like you lost connectivity. We’ll keep retrying”?!

Is Grok down right now? Been like this for 24 hours now.

Trying to access Grok via the X website using iOS 14 but all I get is this screen.
