      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

    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.
