Grokipedia, intended as an alternative to Wikipedia, has debuted. Elon Musk ordered its creation because he dislikes Wikipedia. He claims that articles are written by Grok but there are signs of human intervention notably in places where Musk has a stake.
Grokipedia launched: Can Elon Musk's AI-powered encyclopaedia compete with Wikipedia? https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/elon-musk-grokipedia-wikipedia-rival-ai-generated-explained-13945636.html I tried Grokipedia, the AI-powered 'anti-Wikipedia.' Here's why neither is foolproof https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-tried-grokipedia-the-ai-powered-anti-wikipedia-heres-why-neither-is-foolproof/ Wikipedia on Grokipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grokipedia --- Grokipedia on "Linux" https://grokipedia.com/page/Linux According to Wikipedia, "Linux" is an operating system. There is a separate article for the "Linux kernel". Grokipedia's page for "Linux" makes it clear from the beginning that it is a kernel. --- Grokipedia on Netpbm https://grokipedia.com/page/Netpbm Among other issues, the above article gives corrupt file examples making it useless as an explanation of the Netpbm file formats. The file examples resemble the valid examples provided by the Wikipedia article for Netpbm. Clearly Grokipedia is borrowing text from Wikipedia. And it seems that Grok has trouble understanding which sequences of ascii characters make up a file. This means that in general, there are instances in which Grok cannot distinguish between what an author is stating and what he is quoting. In its current state, I can't recommend Grok or what it produces. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
