It’s already apparent on this, the second day of Grokipedia, that Wikipedia is effectively dead. It may not have stopped moving yet, but it’s clearly and inevitably toast. Compare and contrast, for example, the competitive listings on the concept of the Sigma Male, which as yet exists only as a subset of tangential pages on both sites.
The most fundamental difference is not actually Grokipedia’s incorporation of AI, but rather, its long-overdue rejection of the perverse Wikipedia demand for a reliable secondhand source, which not only guarantees inaccurate and outdated information, but is a contradiction in terms. Providing the media with a de facto veto on any and all information that can appear on Wikipedia necessarily rendered it incapable of serving as anything more than a mainstream media repository.
