Wikipedia:GROKIPEDIA
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Usage of Grokipedia as a source is generally inappropriate, for breaching three of Wikipedia's standards:
- The guideline WP:RSML:
Content from LLM tools such as ChatGPT and other AI chatbots is generally unreliable.
- The policies WP:CIRCULAR and WP:COPYLINK:
Do not use websites mirroring Wikipedia content or publications relying on material from Wikipedia as sources
andIf you know or reasonably suspect that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of copyright, do not link to that copy of the work
- Mirroring (WP:MIRROR): Although Grokipedia is not technically speaking a mirror of Wikipedia, some Grokipedia articles are word-for-word copies of Wikipedia articles. In such cases Grokipedia will usually include a CC-BY-SA license at the bottom of the page. Failure to include the license is a copyright violation.
- Derivative: Grokipedia sometimes derives Wikipedia articles ie. it is mostly based on the Wikipedia article with changes in prose. It is recognizable as mostly derivative of the original Wikipedia article. This also require a CC-BY-SA license. Failure to include the license is a copyright violation.
- Transformation: Grokipedia sometimes transforms Wikipedia articles ie. the text has been so heavily modified it is no longer a derivative. Transformation is legal and not a copyright violation.
