Genuine question: Why did you use `grok` in that context?

Under what contexts are you familiar with the term grok?

  • or don't feel like using an online dictionary when it's quicker than typing a question especially when you take feedback time into consideration. I just don't grok why anyone would do that.

    • I feel that you didn’t take the time to understand the question and keyboard warriored an irritated response instead.

      Nonetheless, have a wonderful Sunday evening!

... in what other contexts would you use the word "grok"?

  • > ... in what other contexts would you use the word "grok"?

    My understanding: When complex knowledge is absorbed through deep immersion.

    I was surprised to see to grok as a synonym for (? a possibly very superficial flavour of) to understand.

    Would have loved to know why, from a linguistic perspective, GP used that word in this context.

Are you also weirdly angry that Musk used the term for their “he has one so I also must have one” LLM? *Stole* the term? That’s a special word, and out of the mouth of anyone but Valentine Michael is obscenity.
