back again to share a new preprint! “What did Elon Change? A comprehensive analysis of Grokipedia”
I had seen spot analyses of individual grokipedia pages, but I was curious: how was grokipedia made? what did Elon change from grokipedia --> wikipedia? arxiv.org/abs/2511.09685
our paper answers these Qs
we find
-grokipedia pages are longer than wiki counterparts, and cite 2x more sources
-but citation standards are lower than wiki: grok cites stormfront, infowars and many more
-non-CC licensed grokipedia pages increase blacklisted source cites 13x(!)
