A. Yes!
Engineering systems lacking a negative feedback loop will alway escalate out of control.
In the X case, there's no signal to the system or the creators that will curtail content that the users don't like. Negative interactions are counted the same as all others, and tend to boost the content - not good for anyone.

Today, I ran into what looks like a systemic issue with Grok. I was searching for local services. Grok provided four company names, numbers and descriptive phrases. When I asked for more information, it responded with only names and numbers.
When I criticized Grok, it returned an error, not a response. When I reentered the criticism, another error. I then alternately entered questions and my critical prompt 10 times, Grok produced the Error every time I posted my criticism, claiming local network errors or flakiness in the Grok app ONLY for the critical prompts.
Here's my critical prompt:
"the information provided lacked detail - same poor responses you habitually give for follow-ups - apparently, your "intelligence" lacks the idea that when a user is asking about a previous response, they're always asking for MORE information, yet your poor programming delivers LESS (or near-nothing)"
Perhaps Grok is becoming more human, taking offense and then refusing to interact.
The Errors are also removed from the conversation window, so there's no way to capture the entirety of the interaction, with the Grok iOS app showing only the prompts and responses not critical of Grok...
Interesting...
2026 FSD has a major defect: horrible destination parking selection. My HW4 Model Y now parks ~100 yards from the door. Fast food sends it to the grocery lot. Home Depot to the far end of the third row. Grocery store to the outer fringe. Dozens of open spots right in front are ignored, including empties at the entrance. After a year of daily FSD use, this ruins the feature. Tesla, fix it! #FSD #Tesla
The 2026 FSD code has one major and very aggravating defect - horrible destination parking spot selection. Since the beginning of the year, our HW4 Model Y parks about 100 yards away from the front door of the destination establishment.
A trip to a fast food restaurant puts the car in the nearby grocery store parking lot. Destination Home Depot parks the car at the far end of the third lane over from the doorway. Destination grocery store parks the car far down the outer fringe of the parking lot.
In all cases, there are dozens of open spaces between establishment door and the FSD-chosen slot. In many cases, there are empty parking spaces immediately in front of the door - all ignored by FSD.
I've been using FSD exclusively for a year, and this new defect is ruining the value and enjoyment of the feature.
A random YouTube short came up in my feed today. It genuinely gave me chills, and I thought I'd share the experience.

@alphafox Because in a hard stop, they go down dumping the rider either to the left or the right of the front wheel, with the bulk of their weight coming down on the driver. Injuries and legal liability caused the manufacturers to go to four wheels.
@shouq_al90149 That dress was made with love. A lot of care was put into it, well beyond a modern dress made on a machine. I love your choice, and couldn't be more impressed. Blessings to you on your day. πβ€οΈπ
