"Since its debut in 2001, Wikipedia has amassed well over seven million articles, all of which are written and edited by human users. While the idea behind this model was to allow for the entry of a maximal diversity of perspectives and opinions -- a kind of self-correcting information machine that would incline toward truth -- many people, including the site's cofounder Jimmy Wales, have argued that Wikipedia has become ideologically biased in recent years."
"Grokipedia has a bare-bones aesthetic resembling Grok's user interface: I was greeted by simple search bar beneath the text "Grokipedia v0.1," suggesting that this is just the earliest iteration of the site and that others can be expected in the future. I entered a topic into the search bar and, similar to a search engine, Grokipedia showed me a list of page titles to select."
xAI launched Grokipedia, an online repository curated entirely by Grok, the company's AI chatbot. Grok authors and claims to "fact-check" each entry, and the site is promoted as an anti-Wikipedia alternative that addresses perceived ideological bias. Grok was positioned as an anti-"woke" alternative to other chatbots, and Grokipedia is presented as a more balanced, reliable resource. The interface is minimal and labeled "Grokipedia v0.1," with a search-driven experience. Wikipedia, launched in 2001, contains over seven million human-written entries and faces criticism for ideological bias, which Grokipedia aims to counter while mirroring some structural elements.
