Grokipedia: Will the launch of Grokipedia shut down Wikipedia, which has been around for years? Elon Musk claims...

What is Grokipedia? Elon Musk... you've probably heard the name! He's always trying something new, and this time he's made another splash. His company, xAI, has launched a new project called 'Grokipedia.' Musk claims it's not just a new website, but an AI-powered replacement for Wikipedia. Meaning, now AI will explain everything, not humans. Let's find out what Grokipedia is and how it differs from Wikipedia.

Showed potential from the start, but also had some glitches.
Version 0.1 of Grokipedia launched on October 27th and became a hit. Musk claims that, while it's still in its early stages, it's better than Wikipedia. He even stated on X (formerly Twitter) that its next version (Version 1.0) will be 10 times better than Wikipedia. Within a few hours of launch, the website went down briefly, possibly due to heavy traffic or a technical issue, but it's back up and running again.

What is Grokipedia, and how is it connected to Grok?

At the time of writing this story, over 885,000 articles were live on Grokipedia's homepage. This entire project was created by Musk's AI company, xAI. It is directly connected to the Grok chatbot, which is available to premium users of X. (What is Grokipedia, and how is it linked to Grok?) Grokipedia's goal is to collect and verify information using AI, ensuring you receive the most accurate and neutral information.

What was Musk's problem with Wikipedia?
Musk has previously accused Wikipedia of biased information. He says that people edit articles on Wikipedia based on their own preferences or opinions, making the information less accurate. (What Was Musk's Problem with Wikipedia?) Musk wants Grokipedia to fix this problem by using AI to collect and verify data, eliminating human opinion. Users cannot edit it directly; they can only send their suggestions through the feedback form.

But is Musk's claim 100% true?

Although Elon Musk claims that Grokipedia will be a completely "bias-free and bureaucratic" platform, initial reports suggest otherwise. (But is Musk's Claim 100% True?) According to one report, Grokipedia is missing some information that is present on Wikipedia. For example, Donald Trump's page does not mention his luxury jet gift or crypto token promotion. Even Musk's own page has removed a controversial hand gesture from January.

Neutrality Test Must Pass
So, while Elon Musk may have noble intentions to create a bias-free platform, Grokipedia still has a long way to prove itself. If content is also selectively removed or added, how is it any better than Wikipedia? (Even AI Isn't Perfect! Neutrality Test to Pass) Looks like even AI will have to work hard to pass the 'neutrality test'! It will be interesting to see how Musk's new project truly changes the world.
