Elon Musk Launches Grokipedia as a Controversial Challenger to Wikipedia
Elon Musk has officially launched Grokipedia, an AI-powered online encyclopedia intended to rival Wikipedia. Generated by his artificial intelligence company, xAI, Grokipedia aims to provide a less biased alternative, though it has already drawn criticism for pushing far-right talking points and lifting content directly from Wikipedia. Despite technical difficulties at launch, which resulted in a brief crash, Grokipedia boasts nearly 900,000 articles and allows users to edit and correct content. It has been labeled by some as a platform that aligns with conservative views and has raised concerns about the accuracy and neutrality of its content. As Musk continues to promote Grokipedia as a revolutionary resource, debates about its reliability and potential biases are already underway.
