I asked Grok to write me an interpreter in OpenEuphoria 4.1. When I ran it I got

>\Users\bugma\euphoria\bin\eui.exe qhand.ex               
C:\Users\bugma\Source\Repos\Present\Scripts\QHand\qhand.ex:225                                                           
<0132>:: Syntax error - expected to see possibly 'then', not '('                                                                     
if start < 1 or length < 0 or start > length(qih) then                                                                                                               
                                            ^        

            atom start = to_number(tokens[2]) 
            atom length = to_number(tokens[3]) 
            if start < 1 or length < 0 or start > length(qih) then 
                printf(1, "Runtime error: Invalid substring range at line %d\n", {pc}) 
                abort(1) 
            end if 

qih is a sequence.

Grok hallucinating again? The code is on Github if interested

The problem here is that you have a variable named length, which is a built-in function. There are a few cases that produce vague or unrelated error messages like this. Once I get 4.2 nightly builds working I can try to suss out these kind of issues.

Grok has got to be the most ironically-named technology product of all time. Large language models cannot grok.
