[World Wide Web Reporter Zhang Qian] According to reports from the Washington Post and Business Insider websites, American billionaire Elon Musk launched Grokipedia, an online encyclopedia written by artificial intelligence (AI), on the 27th local time. He once called it a "less biased" alternative to Wikipedia.

The Washington Post that Grokipedia was quietly launched on the same day, without any advertising or explanation. The homepage of the site was extremely concise, marked only with the title "Grokipedia v0.1" and a search box for users to enter query words. About an hour after the launch, Grokipedia had a fault, and then recovered that night.

According to the report, the website is similar to Wikipedia in style and structure, but its scale is significantly smaller. When it went live, the Grokipedia homepage said it had about 885,000 articles, while the English Wikipedia had more than 8 million articles. Some Musk supporters expressed excitement about Grokipedia's launch, but critics said its information contained false content or directly copied the original Wikipedia text.
