There are so many ways this can go wrong, so I say just sit back and...

On the plus side it's good that someone is trying to do something to fix Wikipedias dominance of that sector. It is a biased heap of shit.
Fixing it with AI is the part where I'm less sure. I'm already at the point where I rarely use any of those platforms as they consistently get even very basic questions wrong.

I'm fine with this as long as it presents everything with the actual truth and not something that leans on either side heavily. My issue with Wikipedia is that it always leans heavily left

Wikipedia is under the control of the Democrat Party but I'm not sure how an AI encyclopedia is somehow better
I'm mostly looking forward to the wild AI mistakes that will be in version 0.1 of this
Let's hope they pull together human volunteer groups ASAP to start combing through the entries and correcting them right away

And the best part is that you're going to pay the bills.

I've been using deep research as surrogate for Wikipedia for a while.
The ability to tailer and consolidate thousands of info sources and generate a report is much better experience than reading Wikipedia article.

And you think a product from a 54 year old man who lied about playing videogames is inherently going to be better?
Grokipedia could be accurate. It could also be a tool for a self-centered, hateful, elitist, lying multi-billionaire to deliver information that he deems fit for reality.
There are currently multiple encyclopedias that you could use instead of Wikipedia. There's no need to back the one by a guy who pussied out of a cage fight against Mark Zuckerberg and lied about it.

It's still too early to tell but I do use other sources than Wikipedia. I prefer using Wikia way more

I for one am more than ready to live in the Grokiverse bubble. And to think, I actually donated to Wikipedia back in the day. At least I'm not that one guy who donated to Anita Sarkeesian on here. You know the guy.

Ah yes, Elon Musk's horny and racist AI. That'll be perfect for cataloging the history of humanity.
Grok is not racist

This is a good thing. Wikipedia being terrorised by anonymous mods and posters, deciding behind the scenes what is true and truth just sucks.
Everyone thinks Wiki is neutral, but it is definitely not.
Not saying Grokpedia will immediately fix this, but it might give a different point of view.
Or it's going to be a complete dumpster fire, who knows.

I don't know anything about this, but that sounds like the right move any normal person should make?

Leftist bias? Wokepedia?
I mean, if you're only checking articles about Trump, Brexit, Soros, LGBT, Antifa and Palestine, I guess it might be,
but 90% of Wikipedia is about normal neutral stuff, like animals, plants, illnesses, programming, movies etc.
Or is that somehow woke, too?

Plenty of those are infected with woke too, yes. Like the pages for Man and Woman, and Male and Female. If even the most basic things are corrupted by woke reinterpretations of reality, it doesn't bode well for the integrity of any other page associated with biology.
Pages dealing with media are of course prone to woke bias, though they will be prone to bias whoever writes them.

The truth has no agenda, which is why history is being rewritten.
Hell, the AI can get confused from slight changes in asking the question. For example I was wondering if the Rodney King settlement was taxable. (Because it would have been kind of a bitch move after the government beat the shit out of him to take some of the money back to make up for that. Yes I realize the money came from LA and income taxes is the feds.) Anyway I put it in google
Here's one result that said it wasn't taxable.
and here's another where AI said it was taxable.

I have to agree. More people are just finding shit where they want to see it.
Instead of looking at the core issue, it's just woke this, left that, right that. Lots of complaining on the internet, turning it into memes instead of doing anything, or trying to do anything about the issues.
Well the other problem is sometime you have a fan boy that's decided they own a page and they have way more energy than you. For example I once tried to edit the page on premature wrestler deaths. (Yes that's a page) I tried adding a locally indy wrestler who died of leukemia. First the fan boy removed it because no references, then I put in reference and FB left it in for a few weeks and removed it.(All while leaving people in the list who weren't actually pro-wrestlers.)

Elon wants to dominate the world.

Yes they are. The biggest danger of the left radicals is the manipulation of history, of culture, of knowledge as well as of the mundane.
I also remember having an edit war with an aging minor celebrity's PR team or something on Wikipedia, but that was literally 15 years ago.
They just wouldn't stop reverting anything that didn't read like a press release for that celebrity's book. Acting like they owned the page, which is very silly.
I doubt that "Grokipedia" will avoid its own controversies though, but I am not against trying something new.

I wonder if Oct 7 2023 will be considered a terrorist attack or "coordinated armed incursions" on Grokipedia

This is why I will take a wikipedia over whatever grokipedia ends up being.
