Overview
- Version 0.1 is live with roughly 885,000 articles after a brief launch crash, far fewer than Wikipedia’s 7.1 million English entries.
- Entries are generated and "fact-checked" by xAI’s Grok, and users cannot directly edit pages, though they can submit correction requests.
- Many articles closely mirror Wikipedia and carry Creative Commons attribution notices, and Musk says he aims to end that reliance by year-end.
- Early comparisons show notable omissions and reframing on contentious topics, including pages on Donald Trump, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and the war in Ukraine.
- The Wikimedia Foundation stressed that Wikipedia’s knowledge is human-created and noted Grokipedia’s dependence on public content as experts warn about bias, AI errors, and centralized control.
