Wikipedia has a new initiative called WikiProject AI Cleanup. It is a task force of volunteers currently combing through Wikipedia articles, editing or removing false information that appears to have been posted by people using generative AI.
Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of the cleanup crew, told 404 Media that the crisis began when Wikipedia editors and users began seeing passages that were unmistakably written by a chatbot of some kind.
why the fuck would anyone stick ai shit on wikipedia that doesn’t make any sense
The irony being a huge amount of the llm knowledge was based on WP in the first place, that and scientific papers.
so, stupidity basically. they’re just stupid.
Many people who are trying to push lies have an agenda to undermine Wikipedia. Trump, Putin supporters, etc.
