ChatGPT begins citing Elon Musk’s Grokipedia, triggering fears over AI misinformation

The latest version of ChatGPT, GPT-5.2, has begun citing Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source for factual information, raising concerns among researchers that low-credibility or politically skewed material may be quietly filtering into leading artificial intelligence (AI) systems.

According to tests conducted by the Guardian, GPT-5.2 cited Grokipedia nine times in response to more than a dozen queries. These included questions about Iranian political and economic structures, as well as the biography of Richard Evans, the British historian who served as an expert witness in the landmark libel trial involving Holocaust denier David Irving.
