Grokipedia launches after brief crash, accused of copying Wikipedia content - Tech Digest

Grokipedia Launch and Controversy

Elon Musk's Grokipedia, a rival to Wikipedia, has launched after a brief crash. The website, which claims to have over 885,000 articles, aims to be "a massive improvement over Wikipedia" and a "necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe," according to Musk.

However, the launch has been marred by controversy, with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales calling Musk's claims "factually incorrect." Furthermore, some Grokipedia entries have been found to be nearly identical to their counterparts on Wikipedia, raising questions about the provenance of its content.

Musk has consistently criticized Wikipedia for alleged bias, and has declared that Grokipedia will be a "necessary step" towards understanding the universe.
