The tasks for which they are planning to use AI make sense. These are good use cases.
What must be avoided is Wikipedia becoming a repository of AI-generated slop (and possibly feeding the next generation models, becoming a recursive loop of even more slop).
But this way? It makes sense. This won't create content for articles, it's just assistance for editors.

Honestly, I think anyone who's a humanist should encourage that. Given the way AI is being hyped by the business elite, making it ineffective is an important goal and worth the cost of a compromised Wikipedia.
- the_af 2y agoWhat makes you think a compromised Wikipedia would in any way hinder the "business elite"? We would just lose a valuable resource to AI slop. If businesses destroy something of value to you, that's not a win.
