Elon Musk’s Grokipedia reportedly hasn’t been updated since April
Elon Musk's AI-generated Wikipedia clone has been completely static for months.
Elon Musk's Grokipedia, an AI-generated alternative to Wikipedia, has reportedly not been updated since April, according to an investigation by Lawfare. This lack of updates comes despite previous quick editing times on the site. Lawfare found that not a single entry on Grokipedia has seen an update in over three months, and user-submitted edit requests have been stuck in a queue since earlier this year.
The investigation suggests this may not be due to intentional blocking of edits, but rather a broader problem affecting all pages. This is unusual because, previously, edits on Grokipedia used to occur within minutes. Compared to Wikipedia, which is constantly updated, this presents a significant disadvantage for Grokipedia. The site's history of copying directly from Wikipedia or sourcing from white supremacist websites might explain this behavior.
