Overview
- Musk announced on X that xAI is building Grokipedia, calling it a massive improvement over Wikipedia.
- He described the effort as open-source, powered by the Grok chatbot, and available to the public without use limits.
- xAI has not explained how content will be produced or governed, what safeguards will apply, or when the project will launch.
- The move follows Larry Sanger’s renewed criticism of Wikipedia, including claims about anonymous influential editors and source lists that exclude several conservative outlets.
- Coverage noted skepticism about Grokipedia’s reliability, pointing to prior Grok responses that pushed conspiracy content and praised Hitler as examples of safety risks.
