New: some Wikipedia editors have formed WikiProject AI Cleanup, “a collaboration to combat the increasing problem of unsourced, poorly-written AI-generated content on Wikipedia.” www.404media.co/the-editors-...
WikiProject AI Cleanup is protecting Wikipedia from the same kind of misleading AI-generated information that has plagued the rest of the internet.
will they fix scots wikipedia too 😭
If you don't need AI to clean up its errors, then you really don't need AI to make them in the first place. I'll feel differently next time I see a Jimmy Whale begging message knowing that #Wikipedia is contributing to massive overuse of energy (and consequently climate breakdown). Bad.
One of the greatest successes of open source collaboration of the entire Information Age, and inside of a year or two genAI is degrading it. Christ.
