Elon Musk launches "Grokipedia," an encyclopedia of AA in which they praise Trump and Euskadi does not exist
The new platform promoted by Elon Musk has produced nearly a million articles through artificial intelligence, but with a strong ideological bias. In its current version, Grokipedia does not include the term "Euskadi," but devotes 20,000 words to Donald Trump (equivalent to an 80-page book) and offers partial views on Franco, AIDS or slavery.

It 's called Grokipedia, and it's meant to be an alternative to Wikipedia, although its creative basis is not the voluntary work of humans, but the artificial intelligence developed by the xAI company Grok, owned by Elon Musk.
For example, theterm "Euskadi" does not even appear, and the introduction to the word "Basque" summarizes the history of the people in two lines. The treatment of other issues has also generated controversy: Grokipedia presents Franco as the leader who "put an end to the political instability and revolutionary violenceofthe Second Republic ", offers ideological justifications about slavery in the United States and declares that" gay pornography was the promoter of the spread of AIDS ".
Some people get special prominence: the article dedicated to Donald Trump has 20,000 words (equivalent to an 80-page book), while other social or cultural issues barely fill a few lines.
According to xAI, Grokipedia is presented as an "open source" information repository with the aim of sharing "truth." Version 0.1, available worldwide, allows you to consult articles created automatically by Groke, although at the moment it does not have an image or open edition.
Since the Wikimedia Foundation, its spokesman, Lauren Dickinson, has recalled that there have been "many attempts to create alternative versions of Wikipedia," initiatives that "do not interfere" with its mission. "Wikipedia will continue to provide reliable free knowledge, created by the volunteer community," he said, stressing that "Grokipedia also needs Wikipedia to exist."
