# Tests Show That ChatGPT References Elon Musk's AI Encyclopedia

**[80 LEVEL](https://daily.dev/sources/80lv)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Tests reveal that ChatGPT's GPT-5.2 model references Grokipedia, Elon Musk's AI encyclopedia, as a source when answering queries. The Guardian found 9 citations to Grokipedia across various topics, including political structures and biographical information. This raises concerns about AI models using other AI-generated content as sources, particularly when those sources may contain bias or misinformation. OpenAI states they filter for low-credibility sources, but the findings highlight ongoing issues with AI hallucinations and the need for independent verification of chatbot responses.
