"Grokipedia pages... have no internal linking, have no photos... There is zero insight into how any of the articles were generated, how information was obtained and ordered, any edits that were made, no version history, etc."

As a researcher, I'd say that all of the important parts are missing.
Grokipedia Is the Antithesis of Everything That Makes Wikipedia Good, Useful, and Human
Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia competitor.' It is a fully robotic regurgitation machine designed to protect the ego of the world’s wealthiest man.
