Is this referring to Stranger in a Strange Land grok or explicitly caveman grok?

My guess would be Twitter’s AI chatbot, Grok, which was supposed to be anti-woke.

Isn't grok also a slang word from A Clockwork Orange, meaning to understand, like the way grasp is used?

This is the general meaning of the word "to grok", as originated in Heinlein's book "Stranger in a Strange Land".
