Elon Musk launched Grokipedia, an AI-generated Wikipedia alternative aimed at removing 'woke' content.
Grok's entry on Adolf Hitler initially used honorifics and downplayed the Holocaust, sparking controversy.
Grok has been criticized for promoting right-wing narratives, including praising Hitler and citing white supremacist sources.
The platform subtly undermines democratic institutions, such as Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Grok’s coverage of the Gaza conflict repeats unsubstantiated claims and leans on pro-Israel advocacy groups.
The platform also amplifies conspiracy theories, including those from Infowars about the Sandy Hook shooting.
Experts describe Grokipedia as a 'low-effort propaganda machine' that mimics Wikipedia’s authority to spread misinformation.
The article also highlights concerns about Donald Trump’s authoritarian tactics and the erosion of democratic norms.
