  Grokipedia enrages Wikipedia editors. Because Grokipedia does not need authors, and certainly does not need editors. They are out of a job, realizing their high priesthood of truth control is forever gone. They are replaced as of yesterday. It does not even really need [image]

  Checking out Grokipedia and WOW is it biased. Here's a paragraph from the “article” on ICE. The three citations are to The Heritage Foundation, FAIR, and the Center for Immigration Studies. No dissenting voices allowed on Grokipedia; the only acceptable framing is Musk's. [image]

  You cant make this up. Elon: Wikipedia is so bad, I'm going to do a competitor. Elon proceeds to rip off Wikipedia word for word except where it doesn't align with him politically and culturally. Who could have predicted that?

  Grokipedia rips off directly from Wikipedia, word for word, formatting, structure, the whole thing. [image]

  Hard to imagine anything more on brand than Elon Musk creating a racist Wikipedia clone.

  Grokipedia misgenders Chelsea Manning, cites a “race science” journal, and redirects DOGE searches to the Shiba Inu meme

  “Grokipedia pages... have no internal linking, have no photos... There is zero insight into how any of the articles were generated, how information was obtained and ordered, any edits that were made, no version history, etc.”  —  As a researcher, I'd say that all of the important…

  It's not clear whether Grokipedia will represent a marked improvement.  First, because like every large language model, it will have been trained on Wikipedia content.  And second, it appears to be pushing far-right talking points...

  Musk effectively copied over all of Wikipedia and had Grok go over it to give it a far right bias in its framing in articles to turn it into a propaganda tool.  It's conservapedia 2.0 backed by the world's richest man.  —  www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

  Grokipedia is not a ‘Wikipedia Competitor.’ It is the antithesis of Wikipedia in every possible way, and it is not going to work:  —  www.404media.co/grokipedia-i...

  “Wednesday, as part of his ongoing war against Wikipedia because he does not like his page, Elon Musk launched Grokipedia, a fully AI-generated “encyclopedia” that serves no one and nothing other than the ego of the world's richest man.” www.404media.co/grokipedia-i...
