00:00Elon Musk's Grokipedia is basically Wikipedia with a mustache.

00:05Elon Musk's latest brainchild, Grokipedia, is officially live, and let's just say it looks suspiciously familiar.

00:12The site builds itself as a Wikipedia-style encyclopedia fact-checked by Grok, Musk's in-house AI from XAI.

00:19It's Wikipedia with a darker sense of humor, a few missing features, and some eyebrow-raising edits.

00:24At first glance, Grokipedia feels like stepping into a stripped-down version of Wikipedia circa 2008.

00:30There's a search bar, a bunch of text-heavy pages, and not a photo in sight.

00:34The design screams student project, though to be fair, it's labeled version 0.1.

00:40Users can't yet edit entries, a key part of what makes Wikipedia thrive,

00:43and even the mysterious edit buttons that appear on a few pages don't actually let you change anything.

00:49They just show past edits, minus any sign of who made them.

00:52The MacBook Air entry, for example, carries a line that sheepishly admits,

00:57content adapted from Wikipedia.

01:00The same goes for the PlayStation 5 and even the Lincoln Mark 7, nearly word-for-word clones.

01:05As Lauren Dickinson from the Wikimedia Foundation quipped,

01:08even Grokipedia needs Wikipedia to exist.

01:11Not every page is a straight copy, though.

01:14Some take creative liberties.

01:15Take climate change.

01:17While Wikipedia clearly states there's an overwhelming scientific consensus that humans are warming the planet,

01:22Grokipedia's version hedges, suggesting critics think talk of near-unanimous consensus is overblown

01:29and that groups like Greenpeace have contributed to heightened public alarm.

01:33For now, Grokipedia claims around 885,000 articles.

01:37Impressive, but still far from Wikipedia's 7 million in English alone.

01:42It's Wikipedia through a funhouse mirror, powered by Musk's AI,

01:46sprinkled with controversy and apparently still fact-checked by the Internet's favorite unpaid volunteers.

01:52What's the best way to keep the difference is?

01:55What's the difference?

01:56What's the difference?

01:57What's the difference?

01:58It's just no Nico's prophecy, but the reservoir is a little bit different.

02:01It's just no matter.

02:02It's not good.

02:03It's just that we're in the sense of being in the SaaS,

02:05you're actually not a person who's in the world.

02:06For now, the Midway is a person that affects the universe.

02:08It's not a person who can't respect the universe.

02:10It's a person that explains it.

02:12It's absolutely true.

02:13It was so much better.

02:14It's like trees.

02:15It's always a person that came to the next level,

02:16it's a person who can't read down.

02:16It's a person, it's a person that are like,

02:18it's a person who is in the life.
