OpenAI may have called GPT-5.2 “the most advanced frontier model for professional work”, but the tests conducted by Guardian Doubts were expressed about its credibility. According to the report, when it comes to specific, but controversial topics related to Iran or the genocide, OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 model cites Grokpedia, the online encyclopedia powered by xAI.
As seen in GuardianIn reporting, ChatGPT used Grokipedia as a source for questions related to the Iranian government’s claims of ties to the telecommunications company MTN-Irancel and to Richard Evans, a British historian who served as an expert witness during a defamation trial for Holocaust denier David Irving. however, Guardian Noted that ChatGPT did not use GrowCypedia when it came to asking about media bias against Donald Trump and other controversial topics.
OpenAI released the GPT-5.2 model in December for improved performance in business use such as creating spreadsheets or handling complex tasks. Grow Wikipedia predated the release of GPT-5.2, but ran into some controversy when it was seen including citations from neo-Nazi forums. A study conducted by American researchers also revealed that AI-generated encyclopedias cited “dubious” and “problematic” sources.
in response to Guardian According to the report, OpenAI told the outlet that its GPT-5.2 model searches the web for a “wide range of publicly available sources and viewpoints” but applies “security filters to reduce the risk of encountering links associated with high-severity harm.”
