Grokipedia claims to be 'a massive improvement over Wikipedia' but sure loves to copy its homework
Grokipedia, xAI'sAI-powered online encyclopaedia, is now live. Version 0.1 features an extremely basic white-text-on-a-black-background look and stripped back page layouts, plus more than 885,000 articles.
Elon Musk launched Grokipedia on Monday. He previously said xAI was working on the Wikipedia competitor.
An early version of Grokipedia is now live, with 885K+ articles 'fact-checked' by AI. But in some cases, the content appears to be copied from Wikipedia.
Elon Musk has launched Grokipedia, a crowdsourced online encyclopedia that the billionaire seeks to position as a rival to Wikipedia
In a tweet that remained pinned to Elon Musk’s X profile as of Tuesday morning, the billionaire describes his motives for launching the new site: “The goal here is to create an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge.
Grokipedia launched on Oct. 27 and was designed by Elon Musk to host more far-right political views than the "woke" ones that Wikipedia is claimed to host.
Elon Musk anunció el martes el lanzamiento de Grokipedia, una enciclopedia colaborativa en línea que el multimillonario busca posicionar como rival de Wikipedia.
Musk and his allies have accused Wikipedia of having a left-wing bias, and the billionaire has even labeled it “Wokepedia.”
Grokipedia’s design is pretty basic right now; like Wikipedia, the homepage is mostly just a big search bar, and entries resemble very basic Wikipedia entries, with headings, subheadings, and citations.
As Elon Musk tries to attract users to his online AI-powered encyclopedia, Wikipedia is leaning into the human qualities of its database.
