Grokipedia, the AI-powered online encyclopedia from SpaceXAI, appears to be updating articles once again after a months-long pause. In August, Lawfare reported that articles on Grokipedia hadn’t reviewed edits since April, but the platform’s live updates site is now showing various recent changes to pages — though many are just a note that says “recheck all references and sources.”
The site seems to have become active again relatively recently. The page for President Barack Obama has a note that says it was “Fact-checked by Grok” two days ago, and the page for Elon Musk was fact-checked within the last hour at time of writing. However, the page for Honolulu, linked from Obama’s page, was last fact-checked 7 months ago, so it appears that not every page has received a recent scan.
During testing, a suggested update to the Gears of War: E-Day page noting the game’s October 6th release date was accepted and is now listed on the page. A request for an article about Meta’s Muse chatbot is currently marked as “In Review.”
Here’s Grok’s feedback to the request about Gears of War: E-Day.
SpaceXAI didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment, and Elon Musk has not posted on X about Grokipedia since February. Musk claimed about a year ago that Grokipedia would be “a massive improvement over Wikipedia.” However, Benji Taylor, the head of design at X and SpaceXAI, posted last week about Grokipedia, saying “We haven’t forgotten about Grokipedia” and that “v0.2 will be better than ever” — even though v0.2 technically launched in November.
