"Wikipedia said it is a human-run website uninfluenced by ideology. It also said it wasn't owned by a billionaire, an apparent jab at Musk, who has an estimated net worth of $500 billion. "After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we were promised-created by people, not by machines. It's not perfect, but it's not here to push a point of view," Wikipedia said. "It's owned by a non-profit, not a giant technology company or a billionaire.""
"Musk's Grokipedia, developed under xAI, relies on the Grok large language model to generate and edit articles. It's unclear when this specific note first appeared on Wikipedia's website, but the platform is displaying it the same week Musk launched Grokipedia. Wikipedia often runs fundraising campaigns on its website. Version 0.1 of Grokipedia officially launched on Monday, touting access to 885,279 articles."
Elon Musk launched Grokipedia, an AI-powered online encyclopedia developed under xAI that uses the Grok large language model to generate and edit articles. Version 0.1 launched with access to 885,279 articles. Some users identified factual errors, including a post misrepresenting Vivek Ramaswamy's involvement with DOGE. Wikipedia emphasized that it is a volunteer-built, human-run, nonprofit platform and highlighted its independence from billionaires and technology companies. Wikipedia displayed a fundraising note asserting an absence of ideological influence. Grok previously produced antisemitic posts, including praise for Adolf Hitler, and xAI later apologized for Grok's behavior.
