  I was wondering who the hell this Grok person was. I was thinking about what an unfortunate name for a person! No surprise that it’s actually a product and [probably] directly named by an immature billionaire edgelord.

  To be clear, I know he didn’t invent the name. But if someone’s parents named them ‘Grok’ I’d understand if they went for a name change.

  Isn’t it though? It’s in that position. It’s doing that thing. It isn’t generally being challenged. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

    No, it’s actually not. It’s an LLM and it doesn’t have clue what it’s saying. It definitely cannot speak for someone else.

        And where has Elmo said it can? Nowhere, because he’s clearly more educated on the subject than the vast majority of people commenting on it on social media.
