This is like a cargo cult parody of one of those threads where professional coders compare their experiences using LLMs at work, but the other night I wanted to edit a save file related to an obscure hobbyist roguelike and couldn't figure out how to accomplish my goal, so I let the default free version of Grok have a crack at it.
It couldn't quite solve my problem for me within my 20 free questions, but it got me close enough that I was able to figure out the rest myself. I'm actually kind of impressed. The game is on github and has a certain amount of conversation surrounding it, but what I wanted to do wasn't standard practice, and the save file format is just a txt full of bespoke gobbledygook so it's not like its training data was full of examples.
It really had to sit down and think for a few minutes to get as close as it did, and to be honest I think part of the problem is that I had made some incorrect assumptions about the aforementioned gobbledygook format that I sort of foisted on to it.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with what they give away for free these days.
