In some areas, Grokipediaâs entries differ from Wikipediaâs not in form but in tone. The climate change article, for example, appears to play down scientific consensus.
Wikipediaâs version says, "There is a nearly unanimous scientific consensus that the climate is warming and that this is caused by human activities. No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view."
GrokiÂpedia says, âCritics contend that claims of near-unanimous scientific consensus on anthropogenic causes dominating recent climate change overstate agreement due to selective categorization in literature reviews.â
It also claims that the media and groups such as Greenpeace contribute to "heightened public alarm" and participate in "coordinated efforts to frame the issue as an existential imperative".
The websiteâs layout is also the same as Wikipediaâs minimalist design. It has a large search bar on the homepage and plain text entries with headings, subheadings, and citations.
Unlike Wikipedia, though, Grokipedia currently restricts editing. An âeditâ button appears on only a few pages and, when clicked, displays previously completed changes without revealing who made them or allowing users to suggest new ones.
Each entry also carries a note claiming that Grok, xAIâs chatbot, has âfact-checkedâ the information, along with a timestamp for when this occurred.
Earlier this month, Musk acknowledged that his AI chatbot Grokâs responses often drew from Wikipedia pages, telling an X user, "we should have this fixed by end of year."
