"I'll admit I'm fairly skeptical of the results of xAI's new Grokipedia and its mission to be an anti-woke version of Wikipedia. And yet, after testing it out a little bit, I was surprised to find that, in certain cases, it seems better than Wikipedia. Of course, its entries for hot-button things like "Elon Musk" or "gender" are exactly what you'd expect for its "unbiased" mission. It hurts my head to think about this too much, so I won't linger on this."
"But most pages are not hotbeds of "wokism," so they end up almost word-for-word identical to Wikipedia. (Grokipedia is able to essentially copy from Wikipedia because Wikipedia allows itself to be scraped by AI bots). So far, Grokipedia has about 800,000 pages, whereas Wikipedia's English-language version has over 7 million. xAI did not respond to a request for comment on how Grokipedia pages were chosen."
xAI launched Grokipedia as an explicitly anti-woke alternative to Wikipedia. Grokipedia mirrors many noncontroversial Wikipedia entries and can appear better on sparsely curated, neglected pages. Grokipedia displays clear ideological slants on hot-button topics such as Elon Musk and gender. Grokipedia can reproduce Wikipedia content because Wikipedia allows scraping by AI bots. Grokipedia currently holds about 800,000 pages compared with Wikipedia's over 7 million English-language pages. xAI did not respond to requests about how pages were selected. Movie entries include plot summaries, production details, cast lists, and critical reception.
