Supplanting Wikipedia would be a very good thing as far as having a better choice for an unbiased encyclopedia is concerned.

Wikipedia was begun in 2001. It’s 25 years old now.

When you read about Grokipedia, Wiki is contrasted as a ‘traditional’ mode.

It makes one think about how fast things evolve and change these days - and with them the ways we see and think in general.

Sometimes I get a little dizzy and really miss the old Encyclopedia Britannica on the library shelf...

It surely would be nice to have an unbiased encyclopedia site, but Grokipedia seems to lean heavily on “reliable” (i.e. liberal) sources for political information.

From what I can tell in limited browsing, it’s not much of an improvement at all.
