I think the parent was asking you for evidence of articles with bias, though. Not evidence of Musk making fun of Wikipedia.

I’m also curious to see any egregious violations where grok also dug its heels in a biased way when presented with an edit/correction with credible evidence.

I’d love to see some evidence of it. (Not in a sarcastic way, I’m genuinely asking)



Its' entire (stated) raison d'etre is that wikipedia is biased and wrong, so let's swap the question and instead ask for evidence of wikipedia sticking to wrong edits. If not, then grokipedia must exist for some other reason.

Edit: Of course edit spamming/concerted efforts can affect wikipedia, but I'd rather that possibility than the entire thing be edit controlled by a person with an endless string of scrupulous behaviour.


Do you really believe, Elon is watching over all Grokipedia articles and edits them as he pleases?

And, to engage in your whataboutism, it’s not that Wikipedia is inherently publishing wrong facts. It’s about their editors omitting inconvenient facts about their favourite political people. Here’s a paper about how the (German) articles of ruling party members are usually shorter than those of the opposing parties. Cross-checked against the same articles in other languages (which those German editors wouldn’t edit) and all.

No. But do I believe he directs engineers to lobotomise grok everytime it frames reality in a way he dislikes? Absolutely. And do I believe that grok is used to output grokipedia? Also yes.


It's 2025, not 2015. Complaints about lies of omission must be contrasted with how remarkably comfortable Elon and Trump and the right wing in general have become with lies of commission.


It favors things like "Vaccine Skepticism", climate change, and some more esoteric topics like Gamergate. It's been well covered and when the owner says "we're going to make it biased so our AIs trained on it are less 'woke'" I'm willing to accept they're doing the bad thing they say they're doing.
