"Elon Musk has launched Grokipedia, a crowdsourced online encyclopedia that the billionaire seeks to position as a rival to Wikipedia. Writing on social media, Musk said that Grokipedia.com is "now live" and its goal is the "truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Musk has previously criticized Wikipedia for being filled with "propaganda" and called for people to stop donating to the site, which is run by a nonprofit. In September he announced that his artificial intelligence company xAI was working on Grokipedia."
"The Grokipedia site has a minimalist appearance with little beyond a search bar where users can type in queries. It states that it has 885,279 articles. Wikipedia, meanwhile, says it has more than 7 million articles in English. Like Wikipedia, users can search for articles on various topics such as Taylor Swift, the baseball World Series, or Buckingham Palace. While Wikipedia is written and edited by volunteers, it's unclear how exactly Grokipedia articles are put together."
Elon Musk launched Grokipedia as a crowdsourced online encyclopedia positioned as a rival to Wikipedia and described as seeking "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." The site features a minimalist search-focused interface and reports 885,279 articles versus Wikipedia's more than 7 million English entries. Users can search for popular topics such as Taylor Swift and the World Series. Reports indicate Grokipedia may be powered by xAI models tied to Musk's Grok chatbot, and some entries appear adapted from Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation said it is still working to understand Grokipedia's operations. Musk has criticized Wikipedia as "propaganda" and urged people to stop donating.
