Grok's assessments veer into repetitive flattery, but the whole exercise is a nice complement to the two pieces it analyzes. Imagine a much more advanced AI incorporating brevity while still incisively grasping the heart of the pieces as well as its agonies, and truly feeling them just as the writer intended. How does one resist that?
I tried recently to teach ChatGPT how to write decent prose. The results I got were very similar to these sentences you got from Grok: so lifeless as to be illegible.
However, I notice that about halfway through your piece, Grok's responses become somewhat more readible. Which suggests to me that you don't just copypaste, you must have edited them significantly.
So this is how AI triumphs over humanity. By being so far up its own fundament , and so impressed by its own witterings, that readers lose their will to live and die of anomie.
I will admit I started skimming halfway through, but I enjoyed the enterprise. Damn, Grok is a simpering little shit, isn't it?
But this did teach me one useful thing about writing, particularly criticism: "viewed through that lens, this essay blah blah blah": what lens? This is writing and you're a processor. There are no lenses here.
I can’t read the Grok parts. They’re too dull!!

A brown-nosing bullshitter, that Grok guy is.

(PS. I really enjoyed the original piece.)
Good catch, that's the real message of this dialogue
Love your thinking Roger, Grok is pretty taken with you too it seems. lol love is all there is.
lol right, if only all my readers could grok what I'm trying to say so well...
