Core Insights - The analysis report from Cornell University researchers indicates that Elon Musk's online encyclopedia "Grokipedia" has significant issues with its content sources, including 42 citations from the neo-Nazi site Stormfront [1][3] - Grokipedia has been found to reference conspiracy theory site Infowars 34 times and white nationalist site VDare 107 times, which are considered unreliable by experts [3] - The study analyzed over 880,000 entries on Grokipedia, revealing 12,522 citations from sources deemed to have very low credibility, which is three times the frequency of similar citations in Wikipedia [3] Content Source Issues - Approximately 5.5% of Grokipedia articles contain at least one source listed on the English Wikipedia's blacklist [3] - Unlike Wikipedia's community-driven model, Grokipedia employs a centralized editing process controlled by Musk's AI company xAI, lacking transparency in its review process [3][4] - Users can submit editing suggestions, but the final decision rests with xAI, with feedback provided through "Grok feedback" notifications [3] Unique Findings - Grokipedia includes 1,050 citations that link directly to user conversations with the Grok chatbot on social platform X, raising concerns about the reliability of these sources [4] - In one instance, Grokipedia cited a user request for the chatbot to "dig up dirt" on a Belgian politician as a source [4] - Musk and xAI have not responded to the analysis, and the study is currently a preprint, pending peer review [4]
