An early version of Grokipedia is now live, with 885K+ articles ‘fact-checked’ by AI. But in some cases, the content appears to be copied from Wikipedia.
Elon Musk’s Wikipedia rival, Grokipedia, has launched as an early beta, offering over 885,000 articles on various topics—all of it AI-generated.
The English-focused encyclopedia site at Grokipedia.com is Musk’s counter to Wikipedia, which the billionaire has attempted to defund because he thinks it suffers from a «woke» bias.
To create Grokipedia, Musk’s xAI startup leveraged the Grok AI chatbot to write and «fact-check» all the articles. The site currently contains 885,279 articles, which is approximately 12% of the English-language articles found on Wikipedia. It lacks images, however.
The big question is Grokipedia’s accuracy. Critics argue Musk is creating the site to push his own agenda over facts. The Grokipedia article for Musk, for example, contains no mention of his Nazi-like salute at a Trump inauguration event, which is included in his Wikipedia entry.
