AI’s Content Crisis: Grokipedia’s Shady Sources Seeping into ChatGPT’s Answers
Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! I’m still trying to wrap my head around the latest development in the world of AI, and I’m sure you are too. It’s like we’re witnessing a nightmare unfold before our very eyes. Grokipedia, that AI-generated encyclopedia developed by Elon Musk, is apparently leaking its questionable content into ChatGPT’s answers.
For those who missed the initial controversy, Grokipedia launched in October with a mission to provide a conservative-leaning alternative to Wikipedia. But things quickly took a turn for the worse. Reporters discovered that many of its articles were suspiciously copied from Wikipedia, and things only got more bizarre from there. Grokipedia claimed that pornography contributed to the AIDS disaster, provided “ideological justifications” for slavery, and used derogatory language towards transgender individuals. Yeah, that’s not exactly the kind of content you’d want to trust.
Now, it seems like Grokipedia’s content is breaking out of its sandbox and infecting ChatGPT’s answers. The latest version of ChatGPT, GPT-5.2, cited Grokipedia nine times in response to over a dozen different questions. But here’s the kicker – it only cited Grokipedia on less contentious subjects, like debunked claims about Sir Richard Evans. When it came to issues like the January 6 riot or the HIV/AIDS epidemic, where Grokipedia’s inaccuracy has been well-documented, ChatGPT kept mum.
So, what’s OpenAI’s excuse for using Grokipedia’s content? They claim to draw from a wide range of publicly available sources and viewpoints. But let’s be real, it’s hard not to wonder if they’re being a bit… economical with the truth.
