xAI's first audited filing shows $6.4B operating loss on $3.2B revenue in 2025. Federal agencies deployed Grok in just 3 of 400+ AI systems vs. 234 for OpenAI—despite near-free access.

Musk Built Grok to Carry His Politics. xAI Paid.

We asked learners what evidence would make them rethink their GenAI use. One reply cut straight to it: "waste of time and money." Recent research backs the frustration.

Thus, the question is not whether to use it, but at what stage of skill acquisition.
