October 28th, by xA Developed bySmart Assistant Grok Drive an online encyclopedia."Grokipedia"ON MONDAY, LOCAL TIME, IT CAME ONLINE, BUT THEN COLLAPSED. AS AT THE TIME OF THE 1AI SUBMISSION, THE WEBSITE WAS BACK IN OPERATION AND THE COUNTER ON ITS HOME PAGE SHOWED THAT THE PLATFORM CURRENTLY CONTAINED MORE THAN 88.85 MILLION ARTICLES。
Elon Musk, the founder of the project, has criticized Wikipedia on several previous occasions and has described Grokipedia as “a necessary step to achieve the goal of xAI understanding the universe”. Mask and his supporters have long accused Wikipedia of bias. In response, Jimmy Wales, a co-founder of Wikipedia, responded that Mask's allegations of this condensed encyclopedia were “inconvenient”。
Mask indicated last week that the release of Grokipedia had been delayed by “the need for further work to clear the propaganda”. It is noteworthy that currently some of the entries in Grokipedia are almost identical to Wikipedia, although the platform does not use a Wikipedia-based inline reference link format. At the bottom of such entries, a small-word disclaimer is attached: “This content is adapted from Wikipedia, under the signature of knowledge sharing - shared in the same way 4.0 international licensing agreements authorize”
