Grokipedia isn't dead as such, but it has stopped updating. I discussed this on BlueSky on July 17 It's hard to tell, but I think the GenAi-slopopedia known as Grokipedia stopped updating articles about 2 months ago.Lindsey Graham is still alive on Grokipedia, so are Sam Neil & Bonnie Tyler.

The last update on Strait of Hormuz was in May1 There's supposed to be a rotating display of recent edits on the home page, but that appears to have stopped.
