Researchers Criticize Musk's Grokipedia for Problematic Sources

Imagine a new online encyclopedia, like Wikipedia, but made by a computer program called Grokipedia, created by Elon Musk.

Some smart people who studied it found that it often uses information from websites that aren't very trustworthy or spread fake news.

For example, it might use a website known for wild stories to explain something important.

These researchers are worried because this could make Grokipedia a bad place to get reliable information.

They also noticed that Grokipedia sometimes copies text directly from Wikipedia.

Elon Musk says he wants Grokipedia to tell the truth and plans to make it even better, possibly renaming it.

He also thinks other encyclopedias, like Wikipedia, have their own biases.
