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

 

[RCX]

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.

 

[sono]

good

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

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

 

[Tieno]

what can possibly go wrong?

I have absolutely no trust in this type of AI being able to discern truth. It's not capable of doing that. I have no trust in Elon Musk controlled AI either.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

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

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

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

 

[LectureMaster]

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

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

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.

 

[Dacvak]

Ah yes, Elon Musk's horny and racist AI. That'll be perfect for cataloging the history of humanity.

Grok is not racist

 

[Hookshot]

Might be fun to visit and see how many lies and incorrect information I can spot.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Basically the S3 plan moving into it's next stage.

Creating Elons context.

 

[SJRB]

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?

 

[thefool]

Fantastic.
Wikipedia is another great project that has been infiltrated so they can manipulate information.

 

[demigod]

Google AI and Grok both suck.

 

[Trilobit]

Good. Wikipedia is woefully inadequate with its leftist bias. But I'm not sure if I'll be using grokipedia either.

 

[StueyDuck]

can't be any worse than current wikipedia being controlled by activists and alternate facts.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

 

[MayauMiao]

I welcome the competition seeing how Wokepedia was being bias too.

 

[pachura]

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?

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Go outside you sons of bitches.

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.

 

[segasonic]

facts are left-wing

 

[YCoCg]

I love tackling disinformation and bias with even more disinformation and bias.

 

[Kilau]

facts are left-wing

The truth has no agenda, which is why history is being rewritten.

 

[Fake]

Wikipedia is a sea of bias now, so no surprises.

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.)

 

[DeafTourette]

MechaHitler all over again?

 

[Insane Metal]

Elon wants to dominate the world.

 

[Hugare]

Kids, Wikipedia or Grokipedia, always check more than one source for info hmkay?

 

[Kacho]

I'm all for this. Wikipedia is trash.

 

[thefool]

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 a 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.

 

[Beretta]

Read it quickly and thought it said Gropepedia. Guess that's more for his dad.

 

[Saber]

As long it has no bias, then I'm all for it.

 

[kevboard]

next level misinformation machine lol.

 

[cormack12]

This is going to be like 'The bible according to Spike Milligan' at first

 

[Kacho]

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

 

[ReBurn]

Doesn't Elon understand how important Wikipedia admins are? All he has to do is ask them. They'll be the first to say so.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

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