  "textContent": "I became aware that Grokipedia, the Grok-powered AI answer to Wikipedia, had cited to my NLJ article Outline Guide to Persona 3 FES The Answer. I previously wrote about Grokipedia making questionable use of one of my anime reviews. But it cited to my  _Persona 3_ article for its entry Characters of _Persona 3_ (_see also_ April 6, 2026 archived copy).\n\nSetting aside the failed attempt at using italics in the headline, I am sure it used my article correctly.\n\nRight?\n\n…Right?\n\nThe article it cited to is a combination anecdote-guide. Back in 2010-11, I wrote a plain text “guide” to The Answer epilogue in  _Persona 3 FES_ for a friend. The guide listed which parties to bring for dungeon runs, without spoiling the story or which strategies to employ beyond my party recommendations. I used the guide myself several years later when I played through  _The Answer_ with Victor V. Gurbo. My article did not focus on the  _story_ , but I did offer a brief introduction setting up  _The Answer_ (with spoilers since  _The Answer_ presupposes familiarity with the full main story of  _Persona 3_).\n\nMy article is footnote 116 in the Grokipedia entry. I searched for “116” in the text. Grokipedia cites to my article seven times, all in a section about Hikari? This set of an alarm bell. Despite having played through  _Persona 3 FES_ multiple times, I do not know who Hikari is. The reason is made clear by Grokipedia: “Hikari is a young woman introduced in  _Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth_ …” _Persona Q2_ is a real game. However, I have never played  _Persona Q2_. I will assume arguendo that Hikari is a real character in that game, but having never played it, I am not familiar with her.\n\nI reviewed my original article and confirmed that I did not write anything about a video game character I had never heard of. I will note additionally that all of the stories I shared in my  _Persona 3 Answer_ guide article pre-date  _Persona Q2_ , which was released in 2018. Thus, while I am flattered that Grokipedia cites to me as an authority on the character of Hikari, I must disappoint any readers who are looking for my Hikari takes.\n\nGrokipedia… I don’t know man.\n\n(PS: I really should play the  _Persona Q_ games. They are on the long list.)\n\nYou can reply to this article from your own site by sending a Webmention.",
