Grokipedia, the AI-powered online encyclopedia from SpaceXAI, appears to be updating articles formerly again following a months-long pause. In August, Lawfare reported that articles on Grokipedia hadn’t reviewed edits since April, but the platform’s live updates site is now showing assorted latest changes to pages — although as I compose this, many are fair a note that says “recheck all references and sources.”
The location seems to have rotate into energetic again comparatively recently. The leaf for President Barack Obama has a note that says it was “Fact-checked by Grok” two days ago, and the leaf for Elon Musk was fact-checked during I was penning this, inside the final hour. However, the leaf for Honolulu, which I clicked on from Obama’s page, was final fact-checked 7 months ago, so it appears that not all leaf has a latest scan.
While penning this article, I suggested an update to the Gears of War: E-Day leaf to note the game’s October 6th publish date, and Grokipedia accepted the recommendation and now lists the date. I additionally requested an part concerning Meta’s Muse chatbot, and that petition is “In Review.”
SpaceXAI didn’t immediately answer to a petition for comment, and Elon Musk motionless hasn’t posted on X concerning Grokipedia since February.
