Q
@Phracker2Art Don't worry, this isn't the case! Lots of folks did try to add AI slop on Wikipedia, but we at WikiProject AI Cleanup have been fighting against it for more than two years already!
Fun fact, nearly all AI "content" happened to break existing policies, so we could already remove it. This just makes it infinitely easier, as it puts an end to the asymmetry of effort, where it was so much faster to generate slop than to verify each claim before removing it.
@indutny Please keep us posted! I would love for this to become a greater movement, and I'm here if you need any support!
My genuine hope is that this can spark a broader change. Empower communities on other platforms, and see this become a grassroots movement of users deciding whether AI should be welcome in their communities, and to what extent. On their own terms.
A pushback against the #enshittification and forceful push of AI by so many companies in these last few years.
My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"
Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!
