'Ask Grok' was supposed to make X better. Turns out, it's just another tool for dunking on someone.
Briefly

A new trend has emerged on X where users are increasingly querying Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, to validate the truth of tweets. This behavior signifies a shift in how people engage with content on the platform, as users seek AI-backed verification of often outlandish claims. However, this trend is juxtaposed with a general decline in the quality of interactions on X, as many previously lively users have left, leading to a more combative and spam-ridden environment. Overall, while using Grok might seem normal, it underscores the strangeness of the current social media landscape.
Lately, I've noticed something surprising on X: People are actually using Grok. Like, a lot. This new dunking trend is integral to the evolving user experience.
Typically, a person is asking Grok to explain the context of a tweet or to verify if something in the tweet is true. In practice, it's just weird.
