Grokipedia - Musk's AI generated competitor to Wikipedia has hard right bias

[crazyfingers]

Shock of shocks. Grokipedia has a hard right bias. And has already been caught making up citations.

In another example of Grokipedia citing sources that do not seem to reference what Grokipedia writes, the article about Floyd describes the nationwide protests after his death as “extensive civil unrest … including riots causing billions in property damage.” But the section cites an obituary in the Texas State Historical Association website that does not make any such claims.

When asked for comment about these discrepancies, xAI’s media email now automatically replied with “Legacy Media Lies.”

“The goal of Grok and Grokipedia.com is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We will never be perfect, but we shall nonetheless strive towards that goal,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X, adding later that he hopes to send copies of Grokipedia “etched in a stable oxide in orbit, the Moon and Mars to preserve it for the future.”

Ya right! When antlers fly.

This Grokipedia will probably report hallucinations and call them real with a made up source.

Conservapedia 2.0

Edit: also, I'll note the swastification of the term "grok", and a frustrating fixture of conservative movements in co-opting and inverting the meaning of useful terms like Grok, holy symbols like what the swastaka pre-nazi-party was, and the reversal of the idea of "newspeak" to criticize the growth of language to discuss new concepts.

Conservatives have been the source of the enshittification of the internet the whole time.

Musk isn't 1% as smart as he thinks he is. He isn't stupid, but he ain't Tesla. He just has proven what an endless pile of money can do for you.

Now that's hardly fair. Literally anyone who worked hard, used their brains, and had a father who owned an emerald mine, could have had similar success.
