ChatGPT Sources Grokipedia Content, Raises Concerns

OpenAI's ChatGPT model GPT-5.2 was recently reported by The Guardian to source content from Grokipedia, xAI's fully AI-generated encyclopedia, for uncommon topics such as Iranian politics and historian Sir Richard Evans. Grokipedia's lack of human editing raises risks of propagated errors and hallucinations, potentially undermining research reliability and amplifying concerns about training on AI-generated data and model collapse.
