Elon Musk launches encyclopedia ‘fact-checked’ by AI and aligning with rightwing views

Grokipedia's entries hew closely to conservative talking points, with some journalists already saying it contains inaccurate information

Elon Musk has launched an online encyclopedia named Grokipedia that he said relied on artificial intelligence and would align more with his rightwing views than Wikipedia, though many of its articles say they are based on Wikipedia itself.

Calling an AI encyclopedia super important for civilization", Musk had been planning the Wikipedia rival for at least a month. Grokipedia does not have human authors, unlike Wikipedia, which is written and edited by volunteers in a transparent process. Grokipedia said it is fact-checked" by Grok, Musk's AI chatbot.
