ChatGPT cites Musk's AI encyclopedia in nine instances.
The latest ChatGPT model (GPT-5.2) has begun citing Elon Musk's AI-generated encyclopedia, Grokipedia, as a source. *The Guardian* found nine instances where ChatGPT used Grokipedia in response to queries on topics like Iranian politics and Holocaust deniers. Grokipedia has faced criticism for propagating right-wing narratives and, unlike Wikipedia, lacks direct human editing. This raises concerns about the spread of misinformation through ChatGPT, though it didn't occur on direct prompts about well-known falsehoods.
