Musk Launches AI-Powered Grokipedia to Rival Wikipedia
- On Oct 27, Elon Musk unveiled Grokipedia, an AI-driven online encyclopedia by xAI that briefly crashed and listed more than 800,000 AI-generated entries versus Wikipedia's nearly 8 million human-written ones.
- Following months of criticism, Elon Musk pitched Grokipedia as a corrective to perceived bias, announcing last month that investor David Sacks suggested the idea during Musk's All‑In Podcast appearance.
- Grokipedia is labeled v0.1 and lists 885,279 articles; visitors cannot edit directly but can suggest changes via a pop-up form, with entries fact-checked by Grok, the xAI chatbot.
- The Wikimedia Foundation said Monday it is examining Grokipedia and emphasized Wikipedia's knowledge is human, while Lauren Dickinson said `even Grokipedia needs Wikipedia to exist` and Jimmy Wales warned AI will make errors.
- In broader context, Grokipedia reframes recent U.S. events like the January 6 insurrection and President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss while early reviewers such as WIRED noted a conservative tilt and inaccuracies on HIV/AIDS and transgender topics.
