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

    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.

    What the hell ? Why that man is this much interested in destroying useful platforms and internet ?

    Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.

    Yeah, but this will not require any people to add content since it's all stollen and simply manipulated which is easier to automate than producing original content which AI can't be trusted not to hallucinate about quite yet. The idea is to then get the search engine AIs to point there as much as possible as it will likely be optimized for AI scraping rather than human browsing. Then since the AI results are prioritized more and more, they can get their truthiness to be what people see over actual reality.

    yeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don't think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn't that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

    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.

    I, too, can print out wikipedia articles and use them to wipe my ass. And I don't even need AI!

    "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."

    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

    As long as this doesn't become a source for Wikipedia

    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

    In a time when attention is considered a currency, why are we sharing stuff like this???

    i might use this once, point and laugh at it and go back to using Wikipedia.

    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.

    Am I the only person who immediately thought that Musk will end up suing Wikipedia for infringing on "his" content?
