AI-driven encyclopedia

xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company, has launched Grokipedia, an AI-driven encyclopedia challenging Wikipedia. Powered by the Grok AI model, it aims to be a less biased resource. The initial launch faced technical difficulties but is now accessible with over 885,000 articles. Unlike Wikipedia’s volunteer-based content creation, Grokipedia’s content is AI-generated, raising questions about accuracy and sourcing. While Musk touts Grokipedia as an “anti-woke” alternative, its reliance on Wikipedia as a source has been noted. Wikipedia’s co-founders have expressed skepticism and criticism, highlighting the challenges of AI-generated knowledge.
