Grokipedia, the AI-powered online encyclopedia from SpaceXAI, appears to be updating articles once again aftera months-long pause. In August,Lawfarereported thatarticles on Grokipedia hadn’t reviewed edits since April, but theplatform’s live updates siteis now showing various recent changes to pages — though as I write this, many are just a note that says “recheck all references and sources.”
The site seems to have become active again relatively recently. The page forPresident Barack Obamahas a note that says it was “Fact-checked by Grok” two days ago, and the page forElon Muskwas fact-checked while I was writing this, within the last hour. However, the page forHonolulu, which I clicked on from Obama’s page, was last fact-checked 7 months ago, so it appears that not every page has a recent scan.
While writing this article, I suggested an update to theGears of War: E-Daypage to note the game’s October 6th release date, and Grokipedia accepted the suggestion and now lists the date. I also requested an article about Meta’s Muse chatbot, and that request is “In Review.”
SpaceXAI didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment, and Elon Musk still hasn’t posted on X about Grokipediasince February. (Musk claimed about a year ago that Grokipedia would be“a massive improvement over Wikipedia.”) However, Benji Taylor, thehead of designat X and SpaceXAI, postedlast weekabout Grokipedia,saying that“We haven’t forgotten about Grokipedia” and that “v0.2 will be better than ever” (even though v0.2 technically launchedin November).
