"Elon Musk's Grokipedia encyclopedia is now online, challenging volunteer-edited Wikipedia with a new tool that incorporates Grok, the large language model chatbot developed by Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. Musk is positioning Grokipedia as an alternative to Wikipedia, which he called "Wokepedia" in an X post last December. Musk has lofty ambitions for the new encyclopedia: His stated goal is to create "an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge.""
"A search for "Wikipedia" on Grokipedia yielded 6,047 results early Wednesday, a number that reflects both the work that's gone into Grokipedia and the challenge of competing with an encyclopedia that's been growing for nearly 25 years. On Wikipedia, a search for "Grokipedia" returned 13 results. Meanwhile, two days after its Monday launch, a search for "Grokipedia" on Grokipedia did not return a dedicated entry. Instead, the eight search results ranged from a general entry about online encyclopedias to seven entries primarily about Wikipedia."
Grokipedia is online and integrates Grok, the large language model chatbot from xAI. Musk positioned Grokipedia as an alternative to Wikipedia, calling Wikipedia "Wokepedia" and aiming to build "an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge." Early searches show 6,047 Grokipedia results for "Wikipedia" while Wikipedia returns 13 results for "Grokipedia." Two days after launch Grokipedia had no dedicated "Grokipedia" entry, returning general encyclopedia results instead and a "This page doesn't exist ... yet." Grokipedia's entry on Wikipedia praises its scale and accessibility but notes criticisms about reliability, vandalism, hoaxes, and alleged left-leaning systemic biases.
