What subtlety, what insidiousness …
As far as I can tell, the ‘post analysis’ is only being inserted into a fraction of queries and not in a way that it persists as a prompt. (i.e. replies down thread don’t include that when prompting grok although presumably they have a chance of having one inserted into them anew)
