Grokipedia’s launch follows years after Elon Musk’s public criticism of Wikipedia, which he has accused of harbouring editorial bias. (Image: X)
Announcing Grokipedia’s launch on X, Musk said: “Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live. Version 1.0 will be 10x better, but even at 0.1 it’s better than Wikipedia imo.” (Image: Wikimedia Commons)
He described Grokipedia as a necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the universe. (File Photo)
Here’s how Grokipedia sets itself apart from Wikipedia (File Photo)
Unlike Wikipedia, which depends on millions of human volunteers to create, edit, and verify content, Grokipedia uses AI to generate and fact-check its entries. (Image: File Pic)
Reportedly, the Grok chatbot produces the initial content, which is then verified through xAI’s automated systems. (Image: Wikimedia Commons)
Furthermore, Grokipedia also doesn’t support open editing. Instead of modifying content directly, users can submit correction requests via an on-screen feedback form. (Image: File Pic)
Although Grokipedia positions itself as a superior alternative to Wikipedia, many users observed after its launch that much of its content closely resembles Wikipedia’s. (Image: Wikimedia Commons)
