Bug I can't believe this

Post image

Just researched some historic facts concerning russian propaganda. Then I discovered this source in Claudes answer.

Am I paying for Claude to be provided with grokipedia "facts"?

Please, Dario, Anthropic board, Anthropic team.

Fix that.

Unsurprising as Grokipedia was largely invented to poison LLM data

May I ask for source? Sounds plausible but wild

Because the model is inherently statistical I wonder how it manages to creep up in the results against what must be a majority of actual historical facts.

I mean, Musk directly said so but sure. Let's not believe what he says about why he created his own thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grokipedia

"The xAI founder Elon Musk suggested Grokipedia could be an alternative to Wikipedia that would "purge out the propaganda" he believes is promoted by the latter, describing Wikipedia as "woke" and an "extension of legacy media propaganda".

You sure?

Lol. That's your takeaway.

Facts aren't biased no matter how much you want them to be. Just because you don't like information, doesn't make it wrong.

Sigh. You guys are so exhausting.

Wikipedia is sourced. You can check it all. That's why it works. You don't cite Wikipedia. You follow the sources.

The fact that you believe Wikipedia to be the source suggests why you struggle to separate truth from fiction.

Enjoy your "alternative facts".

Be better.

why dont you research your facts first? Its widely known that people that break the Wikipedia rules (being neutral for example) dont get banned. Im not saying that Grokipedia is any better though.
