When I got my first internet connection, it felt like the entire world was right there on my screen, just a few mouse clicks away. YouTube arrived later, and an even bigger world unfolded — one I didn’t even know existed.
But then something changed.
The internet got worse. Every new “innovation” seemed to make it harder to use, more difficult to trust, and tougher to participate in. Censorship, shadow-banning, fact-checking, deplatforming — for almost a decade, these became the dominant trends online. And they made everything smaller, more restricted, less exciting.
But after I started using Grok, I felt that old excitement again.
Right now, I’m getting my nutrition in order, with Grok helping me analyze every mineral, amino acid, and potential trigger in every bite of food I eat. It designs training routines for me. I use it for everyday questions. I’ve even decided to let AI coach me to become a successful author. It’s honestly a blast.
Of course, there are potential dangers in using AI. Grok makes mistakes — sometimes even simple ones, like miscalculating how many eggs you’d need to eat to reach 500 kcal. But if you don’t blindly follow every piece of advice and instead use AI as a tool for real back-and-forth conversation, it becomes a fantastic tool.
Grok made me excited about the internet again.
