Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

Got a new laptop recently. Copilot pops up, so I asked it how to permanently disable Copilot.
It gave me a wordy non-answer, along with a "fun fact" about my local area
totally relevant and not creepy at all.
Then, after I demanded it tell me how to permanently disable itself, Copilot gave me a completely wrong answer.
After specifying the "app or service" I'm using (Windows, you fucking clueless piece of shit), it then gave me a half-baked answer that called commands which weren't installed by default.
I then used duckduckgo to figure out how to install the configuration tool copilot said to use but that Windows had decided to hide from me.
Good job completely wasting my time, you ai-loving fucks at Microsoft. I don't need new reasons to nuke your shitty software and install Linux, but now I have them. If Linux had native vst3 support, I wouldn't have even booted into Windows.
Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book, and being the sci-fi novel backgrounding hippie culture, I wouldn't have expected Musk to have read it.
Who said he actually did? The term "grok" is listed in The Jargon File / The New Hacker's Dictionary. Musk probably read it long ago. ...Like every proper geek. Nowadays, every time he drops an epic meme (as kids say these days), it's a hazily remembered reference to something nerdy from ages gone by, and it just demonstrates he has absolutely no idea about the context.
Maybe I misunderstood OP?
I don’t think I've ever read The Jargon File or The New Hacker's Dictionary, but I definitely read Heinlen for fun in college. My educational background is in the social sciences and humanities.
Good point about his lack of context though!
I just rewatched a show called Devs with a friend. One of the striking moments was when one of the characters recites some poetry and the techy boss didn't seem to care about how literature can inform and enrich our lives.
