The Editors Protecting Wikipedia from AI Hoaxes

A group of Wikipedia editors have formed WikiProject AI Cleanup, “a collaboration to combat the increasing problem of unsourced, poorly-written AI-generated content on Wikipedia.” The group’s goal is to protect one of the world’s largest repositories of information from the same kind of misleading AI-generated information that has plagued Google search results, books sold on Amazon, and academic journals. “A few of us had noticed the prevalence of unnatural writing that showed clear signs of being AI-generated, and we managed to replicate similar ‘styles’ using ChatGPT,” Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of WikiProject AI Cleanup, told me in an email. “Discovering some common AI catchphrases allowed us to quickly spot some of the most egregious examples of generated articles, which we quickly wanted to formalize into an organized project to compile our findings and techniques.”

Notable to me that every for-profit information hub is injecting AI into every corner of their services while the largest nonprofit information hub is fighting it off like their the Night's Watch https://t.co/WTqpU2ls1U

a 3d model picture of a blue sky with clouds and a rainbow in the far right. from left to right, tails, knuckles, sonic, and shadow fly through the scene. sonic is carrying a large rainbow flag.

a screenshot of a tweet. the first tweet, from figure eight yt, is an image of silver the hedgehog on the bisexual flag. the text around him reads "bisexuals get behind me i'll protect you". the tweet replying to this is by pete capella. this tweet reads "love this. love this. love this. lgbt community, know that silver and i have your back, now and forever 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧."

a screenshot of a facebook comment by dan groves. the comment reads "If you're homophobic, you don't really understand what Sonic is all about. It's about friendship and justice and being free to be yourself. Open Your Heart. Live and Learn. That's what Sonic the Hedgehog is about."
