Elon Musk has lambasted Wikipedia, calling it woke, supporting accusations of it having a left-wing bias, and arguing it’s an “extension of mainstream media propaganda.” So his AI company, xAI, developed a rival called Grokipedia, which ironically enough cites the online encyclopedia at the end of many of its articles.
Grokipedia.com came online on Monday, and features 885,279 articles on the site as of Tuesday. The online encyclopedia is Musk’s answer to what he’s repeatedly called “Wokipedia,” the popular free online source with over 7 million articles in English alone as of Tuesday. Wikipedia articles are maintained by volunteer writers and editors, while xAI’s service uses AI to generate articles by pulling from different resources across the internet, one being Wikipedia.
