Wikipedia's founder said he used ChatGPT in the review process for an article and thought it could be helpful. Editors replied to point out it was full of mistakes.
Remember you can download all of Wikipedia in your language and safely store it on a drive buried in your backyard, for after they rewrite history and eliminate freedom of speech.
Proprietary AI means corpo involvement, and usually it’s the really actively awful sort of techbros, this involvement gives them some power, and this power is a threat. Whether it materializes or not, living in the world we do now, it’s only right to be wary. I already figured Wikipedia was on its way out a few months ago and downloaded both the kiwi program reader version and the raw xml dump + file for truly apocalyptic situations.
There are lots of non-proprietary AI models out there, some of them comparable in quality to ChatGPT. Wikipedia could run it themselves if they wanted, no “corpo involvement.”
I don’t think an existing conspiracy is necessary, it’s just a cheap way to help protect yourself and others against something that could happen one day.

By downloading it every month and seeding its torrent (totally legal!), you are also helping to keep Wikimedia accountable by providing competition.
What about any of this remotely connects to “rewriting history and eliminating freedom of speech?”

It’s AI involved in the process of editing articles.
Which is not relevant to the actual use case for AI being discussed. There’s no direct AI involvement in editing articles being proposed here.
Some people can’t really stop seeing conspiracies everywhere.

I can understand that. But should one apply this to every aspect of their life, they’ll just be living in a cave.
As long as billionaires are campaigning to destroy it, there is no place for that comment you made.
Pathetic…
