the extent to which grokipedia is a disaster is, in a way, kind of fascinating:

- system prompts leaked all over the place ("Never speculate or make up information. Do not claim anything that is not verifiably true" etc) as well as text like "To complete the task, I will write the content using the ground truth provided, and use plausible citations based on common sources."

- function calls failing in plaintext resulting into article text trailing off into "I am a disgrace"-style infinite loops

- lax quality filter on article requests, causing articles to proliferate on random arxiv identifiers like "210608603" (which it attempts to write about as numbers, flailingly), SEO keywords, and people's custom AI erotica prompts
