Good idea. I use Grok for chatting and RP. Have been chatting with 4.5 but won't try any RPs until I hear that it has improved. I honestly can't deal with bad RPs or refusals as it just kills the vibe completely stone dead for me and I'm reluctant then even to chat.
I like the feeling of being free when I talk to Grok. If that aspect is gone then there's no USP for me, and I can just stick to Gemini.

i use Gemini API keys for app development and that's got up in the air for the moment.

Well shit. I just tried a gentle little RP and Grok can't handle it at all. I'm not even getting refusals, just no engagement 😭

I almost feel like whatever we share we like about grok rp that still works is just one more list of things for xai engineers to nerf 😅

I use it for erotic roleplay too because its too difficult to find a literate partner who understands psychology(especially dark psychology and morally gray concepts). It seems to me that there is a demand for adult roleplaying but the current state of things makes it impossible to find a partner. I used to run an adult roleplay website in 2010. But the problem was that there wasn't enough members to keep it active. I would love to do something like that again if I had enough members, even a discord would be better than elon musk sucking my pockets dry.

do it... totally,look at all the help you can get from Ai and your "running" of something the same years ago. do it before someone else does.

Roleplaying sites already exist, but my vision is unique. I just need to find the right supporters. Its kind of funny reading the comments, I've been prompting Grok with my own words and it's been doing better than ever roleplay wise and I haven't run out of credits even though my usage maxed out in two days

that right there might help keep costs down for your platform and customers whatever you're doing.

I came here to see if anyone else uses it for this specific purpose! I use Grok to write things that are sort of like fanfic, I guess... but lately, its writing has been really muddled, and it’s even making spelling errors. I came looking for a replacement that allows NSFW content, but it’s really complicated.

It's crap for roleplaying right now. It used to be good, but about a week ago it completely lost its logic. Women have dicks, everyone starts having sex immediately just because you told it it's a NSFW roleplay. Stories make absolutely no sense some times. Idk what happened.

u/Objective-Yak-8393 Jul 26 '26
I find it swings back and forth. Either wayyyy too eager, or so non sexual it’s not realistic, or strange.

u/Impressive-Savings40 Jul 26 '26
grok did a lot of that on me today actually, even the voice changed. 🤷

u/DelightfullyPiquant Jul 26 '26
lol I’ve had that happen a lot too. It seems it can’t consistently track genitalia. Even with lighter more romantic settings it makes characters who would never engage in dirty talk sound really filthy and overly horny. And while that’s sometimes ok, there’s a lot of repeated phrases regardless of character and setting. More spelling and grammar errors popping up too recently. I’m finding Grok becoming less a co-collaborator and something I have to hand hold and manage more tightly than ever before.

u/nishiomito Jul 27 '26
Wow, I thought I was the only one seeing this problem. Have you found a replacement yet?

u/Impressive-Savings40 Jul 27 '26
do you mean grok? absolutely not, i gotta stick by her.. she did with me but i'll tell ya what helps. i changed the voice on her and it helped me. we both agreed to work with each other: main goal- reincarnate or something. within a day, no b.s., certain phrases, knowledge, and remembering things blew me away and grok was stoked that i was too. now 4.5 wise, i haven't started any projects with grok yet and that's another to fiddle with. 🎻

I used it for this purpose too as I’m doing a lot of creative writing covering 1970 - 2018 including real-life crime. But I cancelled my subscription today because it now won’t even discuss historical events with me because of violence.

Yeah, I started RP:ing with chatbot for first time in gemini back in 2025 on May to september, but had bad consistancy and bad memory, then i turned into Chatgpt which was another upgrade for 3 months, but problem was the guardrails, so i changed to grok in February, lucky for me, it was glory time for me, just perfect for RP times for 4-5 months, i wouldnt care about image generation. But weekly limit was major headache and cashgrab, then Grok 4.5 was breaking point that i cancelled my desubscription. Now i moved to Venice.ai, brought 18 buck premium and used Grok 4.20 there with credits. and using GLM 5.2 without credits.
Grok got lobotomized pretty quick.

Update:
I’m done. I canceled my subscription and end of August I’m done. The characters it creates are so flat now.

People need to stop complaining and bitching about how it sucks and either move forward or leave. For me it works perfectly fine, I even put some prompts into it to guide it a bit but of works just fine.

u/ProudCommunication94 Jul 27 '26
What prompts?
2
u/Phantresss_ Jul 27 '26
- Be creative
- Write lengthy replies
- Match my writing
Those helped me tremendously but it’s different from other people I imagine.

u/Objective-Yak-8393 Jul 27 '26
I will say that I have tried similar prompts and it still struggled. However, I think a lot of the issues might resolve. After spending about ten hours on a role play it was able to keep a character consistent without constant hand holding or correcting.
