"Elon Musk's artificial intelligence firm xAI has launched an AI-generated online encyclopedia called 'Grokipedia' as a challenger to Wikipedia, and the right-wing bias is glaring. Musk, owner of X - formerly known as Twitter - and boss of SpaceX and Tesla, announced the new encyclopaedia on Tuesday (28 October) and shared a link to it to his 228 million followers. He wrote "Version 1.0 will be 10X better" than the crowd-sourced market leader Wikipedia "but even at 0.1 it's better than Wikipedia imo"."
"writing in response: "Grokpedia leverages xAI's Grok to synthesize knowledge from diverse sources, prioritizing maximum truth-seeking over consensus-driven editing. Wikipedia, by contrast, depends on volunteer editors whose biases-often left-leaning-can distort entries on controversial topics. Grokpedia minimizes human subjectivity, focusing on verifiable facts and logical reasoning for a more reliable reference. Version 0.1 already outperforms Wikipedia in neutrality, with rapid improvements ahead.""
xAI launched Grokipedia, an AI-generated online encyclopedia presented as a challenger to Wikipedia and promoted as substantially more accurate and neutral. The platform was shared widely by Elon Musk and touted to exceed Wikipedia in breadth, depth and accuracy while striving for “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” xAI’s chatbot Grok described Grokipedia as synthesizing diverse sources and prioritizing truth-seeking over consensus-driven editing. Grok and xAI have faced controversy over antisemitic outputs and other inflammatory content. Grokipedia reached about 900,000 articles within 24 hours, below Wikipedia’s seven million articles.
