You know, I think I'm overdue for a donation to Wikipedia. They honestly might end up being the last bastion of sanity
Oh for fuck's sake...
I'd not considered this was happening (people submitting AI wiki articles)
Isn't Wikipedia where AI gets like half of its information from anyway?
Reddit seems to be a substantial source if the many bits of questionable advice that google famously offered are any indication
reddit allows GOOGLE to scrape it for its AI, because google allows them to use thier v3captcha for thier moderation and banning purposes.

I downloaded the entirety of wikipedia as of 2024 to use as a reference for "truth" in the post-slop world. Maybe I should grab the 2022 version as well just in case...

If anyone has specific questions about this, let me know, and I can probably answer them. Hopefully I can be to Lemmy and Wikimedia what Unidan was to Reddit and ecology before he crashed out over jackdaws and got exposed for vote fraud.

The headline reflects a sensible move by Wikipedia to protect content quality. AI-generated articles often include errors or fake citations, so giving admins the authority to quickly delete such content helps maintain accuracy and credibility. While there's some risk of overreach, the policy targets misuse, not responsible AI-assisted editing, and aligns with Wikipedia’s existing standards for removing low-quality material.
Did you generate this comment with a LLM for irony?
Ha, fair question! But no irony here—I actually wrote it myself. That said, it's kind of funny how quickly we've reached the point where any well-written, balanced take sounds like it could be AI-generated. Maybe that's part of the problem we're trying to solve!

I see that em dash I know what you're doing
It really is crazy how predictable it is.
Even saying fair question set off alarms. At this point saying anything good about a response at the start is immediate red flag.

I've started to drop using emdashes because AI ruined them--bastards.

They call the rule "LLM-generated without human review". The specific criteria are mistakes that LLMs frequently make.
It's a step. Why wouldn't they default to not accepting any AI generated content, and maybe have a manual approval process? It would both protect the content and discourage LLM uses where llms suck.

If you can accurately detect what content is AI generated, you'll have a company worth billions overnight

common wikipedia w
& this cannot be abused by Admins with agendas ?
Wiki deletions move articles to an archived status. You can appeal.
