GPT-5.2 Cites Grokipedia for Real-Time Information
OpenAI's latest AI model, GPT-5.2, has started using Elon Musk's Grokipedia as a source for real-time information.
This is surprising because Musk and OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, have a well-known rivalry.
Grokipedia, which is like an AI version of Wikipedia, has been cited multiple times by GPT-5.2 for various topics, from geopolitical details to biographical information.
Even though Grokipedia has faced criticism for bias and misinformation, it seems to be gaining credibility among top AI models.
OpenAI says they use a wide range of sources and have safety filters to prevent harmful information from being shared.
However, critics like Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales argue that AI-generated content is prone to errors and lacks the reliability of human-curated sources.
Grokipedia allows users to suggest edits or flag false information, but it does not permit direct editing like Wikipedia.
GPT-5.2 has begun using Grokipedia as a source for real-time information.
Grokipedia was cited nine times in a dozen queries by GPT-5.2.
Topics ranged from geopolitical details to biographical information.
