Grokipedia has been outnumbered by the top white websites, Cornell researchers found

Elon Musk’s anti-Woke Wikipedia rival, Grokipedia, pulls information from the most hackneyed sources and well-known Neo-Nazi sites, according to two investigators.

The analysis, “What is Elon changing? A comprehensive analysis of Grokipedia,” was conducted by two Cornell Technity researchers and is subject to peer review. It is the first attempt at naming the site’s entries which numbered over 880,000 at the time. As for publishing, Grokipedia v0.2 hosts 1,016,241 articles.

They found that the website frequently points to classified sources and sites and sites considered to be of low quality by readers, including Stormfront. Stormofront is considered to be the first big hate site on the Internet and the most popular forum for white people, according to the Southern Pourther Law Center (SLPC). It was founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black in 1995, and on White Dust, Neo-Nazi message boards.

In addition, the researchers found that Grokipedia pointed to the far-right infowars 34 times, and was pulled in Vdare, recording the book of the white world as a hate group in the scene, 107 times. Similar entries on Wikipedia were found mainly for general news publications.

“We find that the selected high-quality and controversial articles show less similarity between their wikipedia version and the grokipedia version than other pages,” the report said. “A random subset shows that Grokipedia focuses on rewriting the top-ranked articles on Wikipedia, with a bias towards biographical, political, social and historical topics.”

The investigators also found that, in all, Grokipedia articles were long and added other articles “twice as many Wikipedia sources, receiving twice as many pieces of unreliable citations.

It’s been less than a month since Musk launched the Internet, branded as a competitor to what the CEO of X started calling “Wokipedia” or “Dickipedia.” Musk has long criticized the nonprofit’s anti-leftist wis. “Grokipedia.com version 0.1 is now live. Version 1.0 will be 10x better, but even at 0.1 it’s better than Wikipedia IMO,” Billineaire told OPP in a post during the launch. Users soon noticed, that Grokipedia was hosting many entries from Wikipedia, except for its charged political topics.

Grokipedia’s editing process is not well defined. Users are not able to edit articles directly on the site, but they can submit suggestions to the Xai group’s filters. It is not yet clear if the titaltbot of turlok is involved in the update process, although Musk has said that he is involved in fact. The chatbot has previously come under fire for hate speech and glorifying the actions of Adolf Hitler. Musk himself has brought back the high-end white numbers on the X and made remote talking points and graphics.

On the other hand, Wikipedia’s content and selection methods are governed by five social pillars, which include an emphasis on primary sources and general neutrality. “All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy with ratings from reliable sources, especially when the subject is controversial or about a living person,” reads one column. Wikipedia also discourages the use of “websites and publications that present views that are widely accepted as derogatory.” Infowars, for example, has been seen as a reduced and documented source on wikipedia due to ongoing controversy and its reputation for publishing fake news and publishing opinions.

“The publicly determined, community-oriented rules that try to keep Wikipedia as a complete, reliable, human-made resource do not apply to Glokipedia,” author Harold Mameman told NBC News.
