wtf is grok?
Elons version of being artificially smart.
It’s X’s integrated ChatGPT AI
It’s ChatGPT but apparently entirely about X jokes? Lol
It comes from the Robert Heinlein sci-fi novel Stranger in a Strange Land. It was defined as fully understanding something. It was used later by nerds in other contexts, as your other replies show.
I had never heard of it either, but once I learned Musk was involved, the section title “Grok ranks among most reckless chatbots” made perfect sense.
Grok is an old ttrpg term that means “to intuitively understand something.” As in “I totally grok how to play as an elf in ad&d but playing as a wizard is totally over my head”
edit: correct the autocorrect
“to really understand something”
It’s also an old Log parser and search function for Linux/unix. So it’s logical he would steal it like he stole the xorg iconography.
It’s Elon being an unoriginal turd again.
I don’t understand why people act suprised about this. These models mimic the data they are trained on. Of course they behave in this way.
If you train a language model on Twitter data, then you will get a model that sounds like a Twitter user.
Just like him. It‘s a match made in
heavenhell.Curious what sort of prompt they fed it.
“Imitate 3% of Elon Musk’s insanity.”
