AI Encyclopedia

Recently I learnt that X-ai had produced an online  encyclopedia that was produced and edited by Artificial intelligence. They called it Grokipedia. 
https://grokipedia.com/. The advantage of using an ai generated encyclopedia is the machine doesn't have opinions or bias, it just looks for the truth and the facts and presents them the way they should be shown. It's not infallible but it strives for the truth and factual parity. 

I have been on Wikipedia and it would label politicians and activists they didn't like as far right, a label for Natzis and people like that. It would remove some of the information about the person that shows them in a good light. People editing some of the articles on there would allow their opinions to effect the way they prepare the article. This bias would make the online encyclopedia unreliable, I would go to Britannica to compare articles so check for accuracy. 

In my world, it has become normal to talk to machines. I ask my smart speaker at home to tell me the news, it recognises my voice and adds my name to its greeting. I ask my phone to increase the brightness level if the sun's rays smears the screen. I ask both devices  to set an alarm depending on where I am. Every day I'm talking to a machine, to me that is amazing. When I was a kid I would see people talking to the ship's computer on the star Trek show; it's not sci-fi anymore, it is reality.
