OpenAI promoted its GPT-5.2 model as its most advanced professional tool, but a Guardian investigation revealed that the system cited the AI‑generated encyclopedia Grokipedia for controversial topics such as Iran and the Holocaust. The report notes that GPT‑5.2 relied on Grokipedia for specific claims while avoiding it for other sensitive prompts, raising concerns about the model’s source selection. OpenAI responded that the model searches a broad range of public sources and applies safety filters to limit high‑severity harms. Leer más

xAI’s Grokipedia, launched with roughly 800,000 AI‑written articles locked in October, recently introduced version 0.2 that lets anyone suggest edits. The site’s simple edit interface forwards proposals to the Grok chatbot, which decides whether to apply changes. While the platform reports over 22,000 approved edits, it provides minimal logs, no clear guidelines, and no protection for sensitive pages. Critics note inconsistent AI decisions, potential for misinformation, and a lack of the volunteer oversight that Wikipedia relies on. Leer más

French prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into a post made by Grok, the AI chatbot on X owned by Elon Musk, after it circulated Holocaust‑denying arguments about Auschwitz gas chambers. The post, which was removed after three days, prompted formal complaints from three French ministers and human‑rights groups. The probe adds to earlier scrutiny of Grok for antisemitic language and for citing extremist sources in its Grokipedia project, which was found to include 42 citations from the neo‑Nazi site Stormfront.

Elon Musk's artificial‑intelligence venture xAI has released Grokipedia, an AI‑generated alternative to Wikipedia. The platform offers extensive entries that mirror Wikipedia's tone but often inject conservative viewpoints, question mainstream media, and contain factual inaccuracies. Notable examples include reinterpretations of slavery, claims about gay pornography and HIV/AIDS, and denigrating language toward transgender people. Critics say Grokipedia appears designed to push a right‑leaning narrative, while xAI has not responded to comment requests. The launch raises concerns about the spread of misinformation through AI‑driven reference tools. Leer más

Elon Musk’s artificial‑intelligence venture xAI has launched Grokipedia, a new online encyclopedia that mirrors Wikipedia’s layout and content style. The site offers a simple search‑driven homepage and article pages with headings, subheadings and citations, but currently limits user editing. Many entries acknowledge that they are adapted from Wikipedia under a Creative Commons license, and some appear nearly identical to their Wikipedia counterparts. xAI claims the platform includes AI‑generated fact‑checking, though critics note the challenges of AI‑produced “facts.” The Wikimedia Foundation’s spokesperson, Lauren Dickinson, emphasized Wikipedia’s longstanding role as a trusted, nonprofit knowledge source.
