US EditionCan Elon Musk’s AI-Generated "Grokipedia" Be Trusted?
Elon Musk launched Grokipedia using AI to provide unbiased content, amassing over 885,000 articles shortly after release, aiming to counter Wikipedia's alleged left-wing bias.
- Elon Musk's xAI launched Grokipedia on Monday, October 27, debuting version 0.1 with more than 885,000 articles to rival Wikipedia's more than seven million English entries.
- Earlier this year, Elon Musk, xAI founder, framed Grokipedia as a response to what he accused as Wikipedia, collaborative volunteer-run encyclopedia's extreme left bias and delayed the planned end of September release to purge what he described as propaganda on X.
- Reviewing articles, several Grokipedia pages like PlayStation 5 and Lincoln Mark VIII mirror Wikipedia closely, while Grok, xAI's large language model , generates and 'fact-checks' entries including conspiratorial claims such as 'Great Replacement' and 'Pizzagate', raising concerns due to lack of human editing.
- Several right-wing figures welcomed Grokipedia, with Alexander Dugin praising its neutrality, while a Wikimedia Foundation spokeswoman said, `Unlike newer projects, Wikipedia's strengths are clear` and that they are still assessing Grokipedia.
- Given Musk's reach, Grokipedia's portrayals and an xAI-generated Musk page could shape public discourse on technology and bias, while X faces criticism for failing to curb disinformation and Musk blocked Twitter’s Wikipedia use.
