Why the fuck is this saying it's an Ad in the upper right? He paid for me to read this? He paid money to write words.

Yes, this is what advertising on twitter is now
What words are included?
I would assume most of them. Its Grok so it has all the slurs too
It's because the output from LLMs is worthless.
A million words of long-winded, bloviating, gibberish that reads like something a high-schooler wrote to hit a word count on an essay about a book they didn't read? For just $6?! Wowee! Take my money!
Alternate Copy: For just $6 you too can select any topic you want and get a million words of slop that nobody wrote and nobody can be bothered to read, including you! Such a great deal!
Maybe itd figure out some of the old techniques like Dickens getting paid per word so he's also quite.... loquacious to put it nicely
But Dickens, as long-winded as he was, was still a good writer. GPT/Grok.... yeah not so much.
That's not even correct. Grok costs $15/MM output tokens and $3/MM input tokens. To generate a million words (without reasoning, although I don't know if grok-4 is a CoT model) you're looking at around $30-$35 (assuming 2 tokens per word)^[https://docs.x.ai/docs/models] if you want to search with that, it's 2.5¢ per query. I can't believe people pay 2.5¢ for an API call.
For reference, DeepSeek costs $1.68 per million tokens (for both chat and reasoner starting this September, which is nice).
Just any words!
