"Grokipedia's reliance on Wikipedia runs deep. Some pages even admit that their "content is adapted from Wikipedia, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License." Many, including the ones for common topics like Monday, Apple, and the PlayStation 5, appear to be almost exact copies of their Wikipedia counterparts. And where pages differ, the changes often seem to be ideological in nature."
"Perhaps most egregiously, noticed, a Grokipedia entry about slavery in the US contains a section pointing out " ideological justifications" for the enslavement of African Americans. Another entry links gay pornography to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Its differences from Wikipedia can even have a meta component, as when Grokipedia's entry on Wikipedia claims that it has a "left-leaning slant in coverage of political figures and topics.""
Grokipedia is an AI-created competitor to Wikipedia that relies heavily on Wikipedia content. Many Grokipedia pages are copied nearly verbatim, and some pages explicitly state their content is adapted from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License. Where Grokipedia diverges, edits often reflect ideological changes to topics and figures. The climate-change entry reduces instances of the word "unanimous" describing scientific consensus. Several biographies omit notable controversies, and some historical entries insert ideologically framed justifications or harmful links between topics and disease. Grokipedia's own Wikipedia entry accuses Wikipedia of a left-leaning slant.
