💔 OpenAI’s Million-User A.I.(m)Cry for Help

'Meta-fication' Ghost is Truly Haunting OpenAds

Elon just launched Grokipedia, his AI-built “unbiased” version of Wikipedia, and yeah, it’s already erasing things. Meanwhile, 1M+ people talk to ChatGPT about suicide.

When we search “ChatGPT” on Grokipedia

It finally happened. Elon Musk just dropped his own encyclopedia: Grokipedia, built by xAI’s chatbot Grok, and it’s already taking swings at “woke” Wikipedia. It's already live with 885,000+ entries.

Here’s how it works: Grok generates the articles → fact-checks them → slaps them online. Unlike Wikipedia, Grokipedia is:

  • Closed-source (no public editing)

  • Curated by an AI (not humans)

  • Missing citations or inline sources

  • Quietly rewriting narratives

For example, Wikipedia’s page on Trump includes details about Qatar jets and Trump coins. Grokipedia’s version skips it all.

He even said Grokipedia is “a necessary step to understanding the Universe.” Which feels… modest. He wants Grok to stop referencing Wikipedia altogether by year’s end.

Why it matters: Grokipedia might look like a Wikipedia knockoff today, but actually if you want to expose the "whole" story of someone or something, I think Wiki is a little bit better. Anw, Grokipedia is still in version 0.1, still early.

AI CHART

chatgpts-dark-side-over-1m-weekly-suicide-discussion

On Monday, OpenAI dropped a shocking stat: over 1M users a week talk to ChatGPT about suicidal thoughts 😢 → 0.15% of their 800M weekly active users.

Yeah, but it was actually (or I think) part of OpenAI’s big PR push to show it's getting better at responding to mental health crises. OpenAI says it worked with 170+ mental health professionals to level up GPT-5. They claim it’s:

  • 65% better at giving “desirable” responses around suicide

  • 91% compliant with internal safety guidelines (up from 77%)

  • More consistent in long convos (a known weakness)

They’re also rolling out:

  • Stricter parental controls

  • Age prediction tech to flag minors and apply tighter safeguards

On paper, this sounds like serious progress. But it’s also happening under legal and public pressure. OpenAI still offers older, less-safe models like GPT-4o to paying subscribers.

That’s the reason whenever thinking about AI safety, Anthropic often comes up in our mind, not even ChatGPT.
