If you search the whole web, sure. Limiting search to Wikipedia (or similar trusted sites) would help, because there are editors watching who care about vandalism. The attacks added by the researchers will be another thing to watch out for.
This comes down to whether the website and the bot have an adversarial relationship or not, and who can detect the difference. Eventually it becomes a cat and mouse game.
One can hope that sources of good information will be paid, eventually.

- danShumway 4y ago> Limiting search to Wikipedia (or similar trusted sites) would help Potentially, but at that point you're no longer building a general search engine and your summarizer has become much less useful.No one is going to displace Google with a search engine that only works on Wikipedia. And even if someone was able to do so and it was able to become actually popular outside of tech circles, Wikipedia would quickly be swamped by malicious edits and its editors would be overrun. This would only work if the product stayed niche enough that it wasn't worthwhile for brands and less-savory businesses to attack the Wikipedia editing process. To reiterate: > [This is] a critical problem that must be solved before they see widespread use outside of niche circles.
