      something like sinn fein seems like an article that wasn’t fucked with much, i don’t think elongated muskrat cares abt Irish politics. grok is the fact checker apparently. and surprisingly there are sources.

      anyways grok still cites Wikipedia.

      then again grok 3 is the latest free one so idk if grok 4 uses grokpedia.

      “We think people just like Blahaj because their friends online do, not because of the shark itself, but we have no evidence either way, and also mainstream media is liberal and bad.”

    Wikipedia works because of the vigilant team of volunteers maintaining its quality. Let’s see how Musk is going to do that 😏

      When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality

        Elon cares deeply about the truth and seems as if he has boundless energy to devote to suppressing it.

      Vigilant team of right wing AI bots correcting any “libtard bias” as soon as it occurs.

      This really solidifies the US’ splitting into two. Now there are two versions of “truth”. It breaks the heart.

      It will be full of frog memes and crypto “fundraiser” popups. The references section at the bottom will be links to buy life insurance and commemorative freeze-dried Trump feces with bits of undigested/unpaid bills sprinkled throughout.

    Fascists making a tool that does nothing but steal Other people’s work is so on brand for them. They’re incapable of making anything original.

      Wikipedia makes it easier to be informed. The wealthy dont want you informed. Simple as. He wants to be able to control the narrative.

      Because facts don’t care about his feelings, so he needs to create a platform where his feelings become truth.

      That’s also why he lobotomizes Grok so often, to purge any facts that he considers “woke”.

      This is actually worse. It’s copy/paste with an AI “correcting” any view that doesn’t conform to Elon’s view.

    To be clear:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_and_fact-checking.
    Vs.
    https://grokipedia.com/page/Wikipedia_and_fact-checking.

    Grok explains itself:

    Co-founder Larry Sanger has argued since 2020 that the platform exhibits a pronounced left-wing slant, attributing it to the exclusion of conservative viewpoints via policies that deem non-mainstream outlets unreliable, even when they report verifiable facts overlooked by establishment media.[89] This is evident in the Reliable Sources guideline, which prioritizes legacy media—often critiqued for institutional left-leaning tendencies—over primary data or alternative analyses, effectively blacklisting sites like those affiliated with the Daily Wire or Breitbart unless corroborated elsewhere

    So basically all of Wikipedia’s errors plus new errors from grok? Amazing

    But can we also increasingly let chat bots edit Wikipedia itself, please? Oh, we are? Great
