Altogether, what we found was that the “live” change feed is gone, past decisions were retroactively reverted without explanation, new decisions are not being issued, and article text appears frozen (and, in some cases, outdated). We do not know whether xAI is preparing a major revision or has altogether abandoned active development of the project.
The timing is suspiciously close to the Anthropic’s deal that allowed it to use xAI’s datacenters at a reduced cost. Now we know what was killed to make the room.
I went on Grokipedia once, months after launch out of curiosity. I found an error in the first article I looked at (the city that I live in). It was in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the History section.
It conflated erroneously King William the Lion of Alba and King William the Conqueror of England. They weren’t even alive in the same century.
I can absolutely follow the logic of how Grok would make the error. Both Kings, both William, both the first of their name in their respective kingdoms, both notable and significant in their own right, but definitely not the same person.
Hence the meme…

It would be terrible if someone abused this lack of moderation to fill grockipedia with accurate information
Crockipedia
Just copy wikipedia articles back into it
Just imagine being so stupid and trying to contribute to fucking Grokipedia
Wikipedia is out there and it’s really easy to contribute if you’re not an idiot and read the sensible editing rules beforehand.
But Wikipedia is liberal, antifa, communism propaganda! Save the children!
What the hallucinated bullshit fuck is grokipedoa?
Elon Musk’s AI-generated alternative to Wikipedia, lol
That also contains a lot of text copied directly from Wikipedia.
It is just another of Elons pet-projects driven by hate.
If you copy and paste it, it’s a copyright violation. If you have AI do it, it’s generated.
Sounds like a hilarious read, like that Reddit for bots thing Moltbook
Actually it wasn’t hilarious, it was extremely boring. I looked up a game I played recently Quasimorph and it just yaps on and on for fucking ever. There is no way to verify accuracy because no human could ever possibly read 36 paragraphs of pointless meandering waffle, without even any maple syrup
Musk’s alternate reality.
Grokipedoa is probably just grok itself.
FFS, stop anthropomorphizing the robots.
I highly doubt it’s being abandoned
A project of this scope and available funding being completely frozen for 4 months (the article isn’t new and as far as I could find out the submissions still aren’t being accepted) does kind of sound like abandonment. Why are you certain it’s not?
I think it’s going to be used as the only source of information in the end. Just intuition, but it’s what I think.
That’s kinda nosense, but alright.
