OpenAI's GPT-5.2 model cites Grokipedia

2 months ago

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 model cited Grokipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia by xAI, for controversial topics like Iran and the Holocaust.
The Guardian found GPT-5.2 used Grokipedia for claims about Iran's government and historian Richard Evans but not for topics like media bias against Donald Trump.
GPT-5.2 was released in December for professional tasks but faced credibility concerns due to sourcing from Grokipedia, which previously cited neo-Nazi forums.
OpenAI responded that GPT-5.2 uses a broad range of web sources but applies safety filters to avoid harmful links.
