Business Insider 对比了 Grokipedia 和 Wikipedia 上五个有争议话题的条目，发现两者在内容呈现上存在显著差异。Grokipedia 倾向于将批评归咎于媒体或左翼机构，并在描述某些事件（如 1 月 6 日国会骚乱）时，更侧重于“投票违规”等说法，而非 Wikipedia 对“虚假声明”的强调。在 OpenAI 条目中，Grokipedia 更突出埃隆·马斯克与该公司的法律纠纷。对于唐纳德·特朗普，Grokipedia 的描述更为积极，将他的财务决策与行业规范相提并论，并对批评者进行了反驳。Grokipedia 对 Gamergate 的描述则将其定义为“草根在线运动”，而非 Wikipedia 所称的“厌女症在线骚扰活动”。总体而言，Grokipedia 在处理争议性内容时，似乎更倾向于提供一种辩护性的视角。

⚖️ **内容呈现差异显著**: Grokipedia 和 Wikipedia 在处理 Gamergate、1 月 6 日国会骚乱、OpenAI、唐纳德·特朗普和埃隆·马斯克等争议性话题时，呈现出截然不同的叙事方式。Grokipedia 倾向于辩护性地描述，并将批评归咎于“媒体”或“左翼机构”，而 Wikipedia 则更直接地指出“虚假声明”和“阴谋论”，并强调“厌女症”等定性。

🗳️ **对“1 月 6 日”事件的侧重不同**: Grokipedia 将“广泛的投票违规”和“欺诈指控”置于其条目的显著位置，并包含一个关于“争议”的部分，探讨了 FBI 策划骚乱的说法以及对媒体报道的批评。相比之下，Wikipedia 更侧重于描述骚乱造成的伤害，包括警官受伤和后续的自杀事件，并明确指出相关选举欺诈指控是“虚假的”。

🏢 **马斯克与 OpenAI 的关系**: Grokipedia 的 OpenAI 条目将埃隆·马斯克的诉讼放在了介绍的最后一句，强调了业务上的“紧张关系”。而 Wikipedia 则将诉讼放在了“公司结构”部分，并引用了 OpenAI 的回应，称马斯克的诉讼“不合逻辑”。Grokipedia 还提及了关于 OpenAI 内容审核偏向自由派的指控。

🏛️ **对特朗普的积极描绘**: Grokipedia 对唐纳德·特朗普的条目明显更为积极。对于他的起诉和指控，Grokipedia 仅在提及他卸任后的活动时才加以引用，并着重于“筹款”和“程序漏洞”。它还将特朗普的财务决策与“房地产和赌场行业在繁荣时期的规范”相比较，并反驳了“鲁莽”的批评。

🎮 **Gamergate 的重新定义**: Grokipedia 将 2014 年的 Gamergate 事件描述为“草根在线运动”，重点在于“揭露视频游戏新闻中的利益冲突和缺乏透明度”，并称对其的批评反映了“媒体和学术界的制度偏见”。Wikipedia 则称其为“厌女症在线骚扰运动”，并优先描述了骚扰行为。

Business Insider compared the Grokipedia and Wikipedia pages of five contentious issues.The online encyclopedias had widely different descriptions of Gamergate, but they were more similar on OpenAI.Elon Musk's Grokipedia often blamed criticism on the media or left-leaning institutions.

Elon Musk's Grokipedia promises to be a "massive improvement over Wikipedia." How do the two compare?

On Monday afternoon, Grokipedia.com went live. Musk did not immediately claim ownership of the site, but its X account was linked to xAI, Musk's AI venture. The site's landing page listed 885,279 articles, calling it v0.1.

"The goal here is to create an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge," said Musk, who later confirmed the domain.

Business Insider examined Grokipedia's pages about some of the most contentious issues and events, from January 6 and Gamergate to Donald Trump.

Here's how it compares to Wikipedia.

January 6

Both Grokipedia and Wikipedia call January 6 a "riot." Beyond that, the two entries are widely different.

The second sentence of Grokipedia's entry references "widespread claims of voting irregularities." The Wikipedia references these claims, but repeatedly calls them "false." The Wikipedia entry calls Rudy Giuliani's claims of rigged voting machines "conspiracy theories."

Grokipedia:

Wikipedia:

Wikipedia's opening references "many people" being injured, before focusing on 174 police officer injuries and the later suicides of four officers. Grokipedia, on the other hand, first references harm with the death of rioter Ashli Babbitt.

Between the "legal proceedings" and the "aftermath," Grokipedia has an entire section on the "controversies." The section includes coverage of allegations that the riot was orchestrated by the FBI, questioning of the event's characterization as an "armed insurrection," and criticism of the media.

Grokipedia: 7,627 words.

Wikipedia: 19,837 words.

OpenAI

It's no secret that Elon Musk has a contentious relationship with OpenAI. He cofounded the company and invested in it before leaving and founding his own venture, xAI. He's also sued OpenAI multiple times.

Musk's lawsuits are prominently placed in the Grokipedia entry, featured in the last sentence of the introduction. On Wikipedia, the suits are mentioned five paragraphs into a section on "corporate structure."

Grokipedia:

Wikipedia:

Grokipedia's entry leaned more toward politics. It referenced a Manhattan Institute study that indicated OpenAI moderated more hate speech directed toward liberals than conservatives, and a Substacker who wrote that content involving white and conservative identities was more harshly moderated.

It wasn't all conservative-favoring, though. Later, the page referenced how some Sora prompts with "sexist, racist, or ableist" descriptions "often succeed without intervention, amplifying societal prejudices embedded in training data rather than being filtered effectively."

The two entries were ultimately quite similar. Grokipedia covered more of OpenAI's recent controversies, but it was also almost 3,000 words longer.

Grokipedia: 9,077 words.

Wikipedia: 6,206 words.

Donald Trump

Musk has also had an up-and-down history with Trump. He led the Department of Government Efficiency, but began publicly feuding with the president over Trump's spending bill.

Grokipedia's entry about Donald Trump is significantly more positive. One example: Trump's prosecution and indictments.

Wikipedia:

On Wikipedia, Trump's legal cases related to sexual abuse and fraud allegations are given an entire paragraph in the introduction. On Grokipedia, they are only referenced further down in a section about Trump's post-presidency. In that section, Grokipedia referenced "fundraising hauls" and "procedural vulnerabilities."

Grokipedia:

Across the post, Grokipedia more frequently splits its entries into critics and defenders. (Grokipedia uses the word "critics" 18 times, compared to Wikipedia's 3.) In a section on Trump's financials, Grokipedia countered criticisms that Trump was "reckless" with a defense that it "aligned with real estate and casino industry norms during boom periods."

References to Musk were also widely different. Wikipedia didn't characterize his appointment, merely calling him a special government employee before describing the Department of Government Efficiency's work.

Grokipedia described criticisms of Musk's appointment for "bypassing Senate confirmation norms," but also a defense for "injecting fresh perspectives free from bureaucratic entrenchment."

Grokipedia: 19,733 words.

Wikipedia: 14,893 words.

Gamergate

The basic descriptions of the Gamergate controversy in 2014 differ greatly in the two online encyclopedias.

Wikipedia calls it a "misogynistic online harassment campaign." Grokipedia calls it a "grassroots online movement" focused on "exposing conflicts of interest and lack of transparency in video game journalism."

Grokipedia:

Wikipedia:

The ordering of subjects is also skewed between posts. Wikipedia focuses on the subjects of harassment before a later section on "purpose and goals." In contrast, Grokipedia's first section after its origins is "Ethics in Gaming Journalism."

Grokipedia also framed Gamergate as an act of "decentralized activism," building a future for later movements that "bypassed traditional gatekeepers."

Grokipedia: 8,291 words.

Wikipedia: 11,216 words.

Elon Musk

Elon Musk's anti-Wikipedia stance dates back to 2019, when he looked at his own page. "Just looked at my wiki for 1st time in years. It's insane!" he wrote.

Wikipedia and Grokipedia both discuss criticisms of Musk in their introductions to the business leader, but Grokipedia is more defensive. It said that Musk's criticisms came from "legacy media outlets that exhibit systemic left-leaning tilts in coverage."

Grokipedia:

Wikipedia:

Grokipedia did not mention Musk's controversial gesture during the presidential inauguration, which Wikipedia devoted an entire subsection to. It also does not mention his promotion of "conspiracy theories," "transphobia," or "support of white pride," all of which appear in his Wikipedia entry.

Unlike Wikipedia, Grokipedia includes a section about his long hours and favorite exercises.

Grokipedia: 10,851 words.

Wikipedia: 7,775 words.
