On October 27, Elon Musk launched Grokipedia, an alternative to Wikipedia. Musk noted that, unlike Wikipedia, Grokipedia was fueled by Artificial Intelligence and was designed according to his conservative political views.This comes after Musk criticized Wikipedia in a September 30 tweet, calling it "Wokipedia." In a follow-up tweet on October 1, Musk responded to a tweet which noted, "Why Elon Musk and xAI are building Grokipedia," and said that Grokipedia was "super important for civilization."The difference between Grokipedia and Wikipedia is that while Wikipedia operates through a global network of volunteer editors, who work together to verify information, Grokipedia relies on the Grok large language model (LLM) to generate and maintain its articles.Grokipedia has no clear human authors, and its content is "fact-checked" by X's AI chatbot, Grok. A disclaimer at the bottom of some entries says,"The content is adapted from Wikipedia, licensed under Creative Commons attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License."Online memes erupt as Elon Musk launches GrokipediaAfter Elon Musk took to X on October 28, noting that Grokipedia is available for usage, users took to the comment section with hilarious reactions.A user noted that Grokipedia will be a strong competitor to Wikipedia and suggested that people will prefer the AI platform.Many users claimed that Wikipedia is not trustworthy because anyone on the internet can edit and write articles.Another user noted how Elon and xAI are slowly replacing internet giants such as OpenAI and more.While some users claimed they will now turn to Grokipedia for information, others questioned Grokipedia's AI-powered fact-checking system. A user (@JuanSanchez0x0) questioned Musk on how he plans to prevent political organizations from misusing Grokipedia for their interests,"How are you going to prevent political orgs from turning it into Wikipedia or Reddit?"Another user (@xiParas) claimed that while Grokipedia is "insanely fast and accurate", the interface is "boring" since there's just information and no images."Insanely fast and accurate, just visually it's too boring: no images and just too much reading without visual appeal."Unlike Wikipedia, which offers transparency by recording every change in a public version history, Grokipedia provides none. Wikipedia also offers talk pages where users can debate and reason their editorial decisions. Grokipedia, on the other hand, doesn't provide editorial reasoning behind its articles or changes and is built on AI objectivity.
