Definition

Plain language

An AI-written online encyclopedia, with every article generated by Elon Musk's Grok model, pitched as a less-biased alternative to Wikipedia.

As stated in the literature

A large-scale AI-generated knowledge base authored entirely by xAI's Grok model, launched October 2025 and marketed as a neutrality-focused corrective to Wikipedia.

Why it matters: It matters as a test of whether a fully AI-authored encyclopedia can be trusted for accuracy and neutrality when no human writer stands behind each article.

For example, someone looking up a historical event on Grokipedia would read an article written entirely by an AI model rather than by volunteer human editors.

Heard on the show

“Then a team of researchers asked four different AIs to grade it, and one of those judges was Grok, the exact model that wrote every single article in Grokipedia.”
