""Grokipedia, Elon Musk's AI-generated answer to Wikipedia, is about as deranged as you'd expect - and you don't have to dig very deep to see why. We could, of course, start by examining how Grok, the chatbot responsible for writing the site built by xAI, tackles talking about its creator, something that hasn't always been a flattering exercise for Musk in the past.""
""The Tesla Cybertruck is a battery-electric full-size pickup truck manufactured by Tesla, Inc., characterized by its polygonal, low-polygon aesthetic and an exterior structural exoskeleton composed of 3-millimeter-thick ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel," it enthuses in language that sounds more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia entry, "which provides corrosion resistance comparable to 316L marine-grade steel and is claimed to be seven times stronger and more scratch-resistant than conventional automotive exterior steels.""
Grokipedia is an AI-generated site that mimics Wikipedia entries and sometimes heavily borrows from human-written pages. The Cybertruck entry emphasizes technical specifications and extols materials, citing a 3-millimeter-thick 30X cold-rolled stainless steel exoskeleton and claiming corrosion resistance comparable to 316L marine-grade steel. The entry's tone resembles promotional copy rather than neutral encyclopedia language. A visible "fact-checked by Grok" banner appears atop the page. The public reception section frames mainstream coverage as biased, accusing left-leaning outlets of unfair emphasis. The presentation amplifies praise while downplaying critical context.
