Someone please enlighten me: what is the point of an AI-generated Wikipedia when we're all now using (Wikipedia-trained) AIs directly instead of Wikipedias?

From the wikipedia on grokipedia:

"Following the public launch of Grokipedia, it was criticised for publishing false information. Wired reported that "The new AI-powered Wikipedia competitor falsely claims that pornography worsened the AIDS epidemic and that social media may be fueling a rise in transgender people."

So, it's a way of Musk using AI to propagandize on a large scale.

Are these false claims? From Grokipedia:

> This marked the onset of what would become a devastating crisis disproportionately affecting gay male communities, where behaviors idealized in pornography—such as unprotected receptive anal intercourse and multiple anonymous partners—aligned directly with primary transmission routes, leading to rapid seroconversion rates.

This sounds plausible. Is it factually incorrect?

Why not have the decency to respond with your real HN account, instead of making a new account just to post tedious sealioning?

[this is the point at which you swear up, down and sideways that you've never ever in your whole life had a HN account, this is your first account ever, how dare i, etc. etc. etc.]

Edit to answer your totally-asked-in-good-faith question: Causation != correlation.

It is a genuine question. If you don't want to engage in intellectual curiosity on this topic, please do not respond at all. Thank you.
