xAI, founded by Elon Musk, launched the beta version (0.1) of its new project, the online encyclopedia Grokipedia, on October 27, 2025. According to Business Insider and Forbes, the platform is positioned as an alternative to Wikipedia, but with a key difference: most of the content is generated by artificial intelligence, presumably based on the Grok model. At launch, Grokipedia contained approximately 800,000-900,000 articles. Initial reviews note that many articles are either copied almost verbatim from Wikipedia or generated by AI with varying degrees of accuracy and completeness. The project has sparked discussion about the role of AI in creating encyclopedic knowledge and the potential issues with the reliability and bias of AI-generated content.
