Chat GPT använder Grokipedia som källa
Den senaste versionen av Chat GPT använder återkommande Elon Musks ”Wikipedia-utmanare” Grokipedia som källa, rapporterar The Guardian.
Uppgifterna smyger sig främst in i svar om mer nischade och mindre granskade ämnen, inte i de mest omdebatterade frågorna där felaktigheter är välkända.
Det AI-skapade uppslagsverket lanserades i höstas av Musks bolag X AI. Det har kritiserats för att sprida högerorienterade narrativ och felaktigheter. Bland annat har det på Grokipedia förekommit ideologiskt försvar av slaveri och nedsättande termer om transpersoner.
bakgrund
Grokipedia
Wikipedia (en)
Grokipedia is an AI-generated online encyclopedia operated by the American company xAI. The site was launched on October 27, 2025. Some entries are generated by Grok, a large language model owned by the same company, while others are forked from Wikipedia, with some altered and some copied nearly verbatim. Articles cannot be directly edited, though logged-in visitors to the encyclopedia can suggest corrections via a pop-up form.
xAI founder Elon Musk has positioned Grokipedia as an alternative to Wikipedia that would "purge out the propaganda" he believes is promoted by the latter, with Musk describing Wikipedia as "woke" and an "extension of legacy media propaganda".
External analysis of Grokipedia's content has focused on its accuracy and biases due to hallucinations and potential algorithmic bias, which reviewers, in the first month of its release, have described as promoting right-wing perspectives Musk's views. The majority of coverage has described the website as validating, promoting, and legitimizing a variety of debunked conspiracy theories and ideas against scientific consensus on topics such as HIV/AIDS denialism, vaccines and autism, climate change, and race and intelligence. The site has been accused of whitewashing extremism, such as by framing the white genocide conspiracy theory as actively occurring. Several right-wing figures have welcomed the site. Studies have highlighted its use of sources deemed as having very low credibility such as Twitter conversations and neo-Nazi websites, and for writing about far-right figures and topics in a promotional manner.
