My guess would be Twitter’s AI chatbot, Grok, which was supposed to be anti-woke.
Didn't Microsoft release one of those years ago? I believe it was called Tay
Not sure if you're joking but Tay was not supposed to have any kind of political bent, they just made it far too easy for Tay to "learn" from the people it talked to, so people were racist to it on purpose so it would become racist.

“This is a complex and sensitive question that has been debated by many people from different perspectives. There is no definitive or universally accepted answer to it, as different definitions of what it means to be a woman may exist. However, some possible ways to approach this question are:
As you can see, there is no easy or neutral answer to this question, as different perspectives may have different assumptions, arguments, and implications. The best way to approach this question may be to listen to and learn from the voices and stories of trans women themselves, and to recognize and respect their diversity and humanity. 🌈

Isn't grok also a slang word from A Clockwork Orange, meaning to understand, like the way grasp is used?
It comes from a book called A Stranger in a Strange Land written by Robert Heinlein.
The way Heinlin used it, grok is a deeper understanding, past comprehension, to the point of something being part of your very soul. To "grok" something is to truly know it with all of your being.
It's an arrogant name for an AI, which is no surprise based on its owner.
This is the general meaning of the word "to grok", as originated in Heinlein's book "Stranger in a Strange Land".
This is amazing
What the fuck kind of name is "Grok" for an AI chatbot?
It comes from a book called Stranger in a Strange Land written by Robert Heinlein. In the book, if someone groks something, the person understands and loves that thing in a fundamental and complete way.
A really bad one.

This quote doesn't define the word, though. As per the article, Grok means "to understand completely" not "to obliterate".
After the Martians grokked them, they realized there was no option but to obliterate them. This is possibly a valid response, depending how terrible the occupants of said planet were.
It's still a bad name for a chat bot, as they clearly do not understand anything completely, or at all.
According to the book, grok is the Martian word for "to drink". Since water is rare on Mars (and it is needed for life), it is a holy substance. Martians (and people studying the Martian language) share a drink of water to become "water brothers", bathing is a profound ritual and to understand something or somebody completely is referred to as "drinking" them or it.
I mean, part of groking Mike involved some light cannibalism, and the martians planned on wiping out humanity once they groked them, regardless of any kind of end result.
