    I went on Grokipedia once, months after launch out of curiosity. I found an error in the first article I looked at (the city that I live in). It was in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the History section.

    It conflated erroneously King William the Lion of Alba and King William the Conqueror of England. They weren’t even alive in the same century.

    I can absolutely follow the logic of how Grok would make the error. Both Kings, both William, both the first of their name in their respective kingdoms, both notable and significant in their own right, but definitely not the same person.

    The timing is suspiciously close to the Anthropic’s deal that allowed it to use xAI’s datacenters at a reduced cost. Now we know what was killed to make the room.

    Just imagine being so stupid and trying to contribute to fucking Grokipedia

    Wikipedia is out there and it’s really easy to contribute if you’re not an idiot and read the sensible editing rules beforehand.
