Grokipedia only seems to solve astroturfing by ramping gatekeeping up to 11, not allowing anyone outside of xAI to directly influence content or policy, or even observe the decision making processes that go into it. It stands to reason that you can't astroturf a brick wall.

So by your logic, there's only room for one gatekept source of general purpose information on the web? No one besides entrenched progressive interests can do anything to Wikipedia. It's like reddit. We're tired of your guys' spaces. So sorry if this offends.
