"Elon Musk envisions Grokipedia - xAI's AI-generated, anti-woke spin on Wikipedia - as a definitive monument to human knowledge, something complete and truthful enough to etch in stone and preserve in space. In reality, it's a hot mess, and it's only getting worse now that anyone can suggest edits. Grokipedia was not always editable. When it first launched in October, its roughly 800,000 Grok-written articles were locked."
"That changed a few weeks ago, when Musk rolled out version 0.2 and opened the door for anyone to propose edits. Proposing edits on Grokipedia is simple, so simple that the site apparently doesn't feel a need to give instructions on how to do it. You highlight some text, click the "Suggest Edit" button, and fill in a form with a summary of the proposed change, with an option to suggest content and provide supporting sources."
Elon Musk envisions Grokipedia as a definitive monument to human knowledge, created by xAI's Grok language model. Grokipedia launched with roughly 800,000 Grok-written articles that were initially locked. Many articles contained racist and transphobic content, awkward praise of Musk, and passages apparently cloned from Wikipedia. A version 0.2 update opened the platform to public edit suggestions, allowing anyone to propose changes. The suggestion process is simple: highlight text, click "Suggest Edit", and submit proposed content along with supporting sources. Grok reviews submitted edit suggestions, raising concerns about amplifying biases and chaotic content if moderation remains weak.
