"Entries in Elon Musk’s new online encyclopedia variously promote white
nationalist talking points, praise neo-Nazis and other far-right figures,
promote racist ideologies and white supremacist regimes, and attempt to revive
concepts and approaches historically associated with scientific racism, a
Guardian analysis has found.
The tech billionaire and Donald Trump ally recently launched xAI’s AI-generated
Grokipedia with a promise that it would “purge out the propaganda” he claims
infests Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that Musk has often attacked
but that has long been a key feature of the internet.
Grokipedia, now with more than 800,000 entries, is generated and, according to
a note on each entry, “factchecked” by Grok, xAI’s large language AI model.
The
Guardian contacted xAI for comment. Seconds after the request was sent,
there was an apparently automated reply that said only: “Legacy Media Lies.”"
