So far the story with Wikipedia has always been that the number of contributors is declining, and I believe this will only get worse when fewer people read it (directly from the source). As much as I hate the idea, are people (in particular, Wikimedia) experimenting yet with using LLMs to contribute to/improve/check Wikipedia? Will page discussions and edit wars in the future get replaced with an arena of partially collaborating, partially competing LLM agents?
- dzink 1y agoThe system is off. Contributor would write a new piece. Spammers would go in and remove legitimate articles it links to and replace with spam links. Wikipedia bots go through and purge the new contributions. Contributors stop caring.
