Short answer: Jordan Metzner says anything written by humans is biased, including Wikipedia. With Grokipedia, the bias sits in the AI and the people who built it, so it would show uniformly across all articles rather than in single pieces.

From Episode 19: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall… Who Built the Smartest AI of All?, starting at 20:12.
Sam Nadler [20:11]: What do you think about the you know, Wikipedia is famous because it's, like, crowdsourced information almost, and, I don't it there felt like there was a degree of truth to that. Does Grokipedia, not having that or from my understanding, not having that same kind of crowdsourced input, does it potentially hurt its ability to be that source of truth?
Jordan Metzner [20:41]: Yeah. Well, I mean, anything written by humans is gonna be biased. So, probably everything in Wikipedia has some bias in some sense, and that's kinda like the whole, like, crowdsourced idea. But I think as you know, I mean, there's a whole, like, cabal that controls Wikipedia and its changes. And, if you wanna get a Wikipedia article about you can go online and have some people that are, like, famous writers write it for you. And, there's kinda like a gray black market to everything. And so, if Grokipedia is written by AI, even, the biases lies in the AI that, generating it and the humans that built the AI, but not so much in probably, like, the content on a unitary level, like, on a piece by piece basis. So, if we overall know that, like, the Grok engine is biased towards x or y, then, like, we'll see that slant across, like, all articles uniformly rather than, one specific article, for example, that that could be taken out of context.
Sam Nadler [21:34]: Well, that wraps it for episode 19, the Halloween episode. We covered Mirror. We built some additional tools using the Google vibe coding tool, which we're we're both using pretty much exclusively in the past seven days. It's been a lot of fun. And some, huge news with NVIDIA and Elon's Wikipedia competitor. Anything to wrap up here? And if not, happy Halloween.
Jordan Metzner [22:02]: Yeah. Happy Halloween, Sam. Hope everyone has a great, fun, safe Halloween. This is the first Halloween where you can vibe code your own mirror on the wall and a bunch of costume designers and much of other ideas. But I think you gave me something cool. Maybe I'll I'll put something outside of my house or something like that. But, yeah, I think that's super cool, really fun. And hope everyone has a really great Halloween. Hope you can use my tool to find the best route to take your kids to. And anyway, I think what are we gonna see next week? More NVIDIA gains, more growth from all these hyperscalers. So yeah. So Something like that. So anyway alright, Sam. Have a happy Halloween, and to all of our listeners, I think we're almost about to hit 15,000 subscribers on YouTube. So please tell your friends, like and subscribe, and see you next week. Built this week,
