About

Grok Explain This, also known as Grok Is This Real? and Grok AI "Explain This Post" Feature, refers to a feature on Twitter / X powered by Grok AI, which provides users with an explanation of posts and memes shared on X, often using a humorous and conversational tone. The feature was added on X in December 2024, but later, in April 2025, users were able to tag @Grok in any tweet asking the AI to "explain this post," which spawned backlash and mockery for people who were overly relying on the tool to explain content on the platform. "Grok explain this" and similar variants subsequently became a catchphrase and were then featured in various memes.

Origin

Although the Grok AI "explain this post" feature was added to X[1] on December 10th, 2024, the usage of the catchphrase "Grok, explain this" in comment sections had a surge in mentions on April 5th, 2025.

That same day, X[2] user @0xChilli_ tagged Grok AI in a post about Walmart supposedly considering buying TikTok amid the platform's looming ban, to which the tool replied with an informal tone explaining the news (seen below).


DramaAlert * @DramaAlert - Apr 5 Walmart considers buying TikTok by joining an investor group. ـل TikTok Walmart 84 179 1.4K 95K 0 Chilli @0xChilli @grok explain this 11:38 AM - Apr 5, 2025 - 115 Views 27 Post your reply 1 Σ Reply Grok@grok - Apr 5 0 Hey @DramaAlert @OxChilli, no solid evidence Walmart's buying TikTok. They denied a recent report about joining an investor group. Rumors likely stem from U.S. pressure on TikTok's Chinese owners, with a sale-or-ban deadline today, April 5, 2025. Walmart's eyed TikTok before for e- commerce perks, but their latest stance says it's not happening now. Stay tuned for official updates!

Spread

The post-explaining feature gained viral usage and backlash over the next few weeks as Twitter / X users complained about people spamming comment sections with "Grok explain this" in April 2025.

For instance, on April 28th, 2025, X[3] user @GREASESTAlNS mocked users who use Grok AI to explain things by posting a video of a woman screaming inside a grocery store, captioning it, "grok explai-." The post (seen below) amassed over 746,000 views and 57,000 likes in two days.


On April 25th, 2025, X[4] @ShuraLynx made a similar joke about people commenting "Grok explain this" on X, adding a reaction video (seen below), amassing more than 4 million views and 322,000 likes in six days.

The only time I kind of like seeing this is when it is used on the insane stuff Musk posts. He views Grok as some amazing thing, while also thinks himself somone with superior intellect even in feilds he has no experience in. Having his own 'amazing' AI directly contradict him shows him to be an idiot, directly (Musk's posts have little to no basis in reality) or indirectly (his 'amazing AI' isn't that good).

But even that is likely to be neutered given enough time for Musk to tweak the results to suit his own worldview. People's critical thinking abilities and skills are way more important than whatever answer an AI can produce. To say nothing of information and reserach that governments may view as disagreeing with their personal policy objectives. Consider the possibility that in the future (or I suppose we cannot really prove a negative now), a company may try to retain usership of an AI by using algorithms that only feed a person information it thinks they want to hear so people continue to use it. That those answers may have zero basis in reality doesn't matter. The only thing the company cares about is if you keep feeding it your personal preference information, which is so much easier if you constantly use it's AI.

Using Twitter is how you turn your brain into soup. Needing to use AI to explain things instead of relying on your own wits/critical thinking is also how you turn your brain into soup. Therefore, if you want to completely obliterate any grey matter in your skull, use Grok.
