Grokipedia serves as an existence proof that it is possible.

I don't think anyone's arguing against whether or not it's possible, the question is whether it's valuable, correct, and A Good Thing.

I have access to a number of LLMs and can order it to build me a wiki site with all knowledge of the world, just like everyone else with the same access. What would make mine any more valuable or better than another?

Grokipedia's mistake is that it generates text statically instead of dynamically from a machine curated data structure in latent space.

Latentpedia starts from wikidata, not Wikipedia.

Funny, I wanted to mention grokipedia as an example of why a pile of slop that’s subtly wrong about many details is a bad idea.

Grokipedia lacks the fundamental quality that makes WP great, collaboration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grokipedia#:~:text=that%20arti... It literally states itself on the frontpage that it's bad.

Funny though, as that admission of error makes it more reliable than if it tried to hide this fact.
