Grokipedia Appears to Have Completely Broken and Nobody Noticed
"As far as we can tell, no entry has changed in more than three months." The post Grokipedia Appears to Have Completely Broken and Nobody Noticed appeared first on Futurism .
The once-promising AI-powered encyclopedia, Grokipedia, appears to have completely ceased updating itself and halting the processing of user-submitted edits according to a recent investigation by Lawfare. Initially launched by Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, Grokipedia aimed to reflect the billionaire's perspectives by incorporating human-written and edited pages from Wikipedia into its content.
However, it quickly became a hotspot for misinformation, heavy bias, and conspiracy theories. Despite garnering significant media attention, the site has seemingly been abandoned, with no new updates since April. Of the 13,002 suggestions that remained unaddressed, the latest approved update dates back to April 24, 2023. While the site is still attracting a significant amount of traffic, nearly six million visits in June alone, its credibility has been severely compromised.
Many other websites continue to cite Grokipedia, potentially amplifying its erroneous content. The fate of Grokipedia remains uncertain, with the future of the project unclear.
