- ramblerman 2y agolol - I thought the same, but the charitable take after looking at the user's profile is that he is a journalist, and not tech savvy. So I understand his request as more along the lines of, can you explain this in a way that I understand it. For which summarization is the wrong phrasing. ie..

- joshmlewis 2y agoIt's become very commonplace for there to be a dozen replies on viral posts where users all @grok to ask if the post is real or for more context. It's almost more work to compose a reply asking Grok about it than it is to just click the Grok button and it give you more context that way. I don't get it.
