There are people who believe that Wikipedia or artificial intelligence are infallible sources that we should not question.<\/p>\n
That misconception overlooks the fact that Wikipedia is edited by humans and an artificial intelligence bases its statements on human-written text<\/strong>, making both susceptible to manipulation. Today we have a new example of this. At 2:25 a.m. CET, Elon Musk wrote on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n \"Grokipedia.com<\/a> version 0.1 is now live. Version 1.0 will be 10X better, but even at 0.1 it\u2019s better than Wikipedia imo.<\/strong>\"<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Grokipedia was developed by xAI, a company owned by Elon Musk. Unlike Wikipedia, Grokipedia, currently only available in English, was created by artificial intelligence.<\/strong> In fact, its name refers to Grok, the artificial intelligence of X (formerly Twitter). Currently, Grokipedia contains 885,279 articles.<\/strong><\/p>\n I won't go into the question here of whether Grokipedia is better than Wikipedia or vice versa, but I've just found that both exhibit very similar biases when talking about dictators<\/strong>, although less pronounced than Wikipedia's. Nine years ago, I exposed Wikipedia's bias on this issue here<\/a>, pointing out its tendency to whitewash socialist and communist dictators. Let's see what Grokipedia says about non-communist dictators in its first paragraph:<\/strong><\/p>\n The information we just read is correct.<\/strong> The four politicians mentioned were dictators, meaning they exercised power without free elections, under single-party regimes where political pluralism did not exist. Now let's see what happens when we search for communist dictators in Grokipedia:<\/strong><\/p>\n There are people who believe that Wikipedia or artificial intelligence are infallible sources that we should not question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[11397],"tags":[18485,10444,11355,25638,2812],"class_list":["post-61521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-internet-eng","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-communism","tag-elon-musk","tag-grokipedia","tag-wikipedia"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 01:28:06","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61521\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
