Pas d#IA pour #Wikipedia Bans #AI-Generated Content
https://www.404media.co/wikipedia-bans-ai-generated-content
After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of large language models on Wikipedia, on March 20 volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online #encyclopedia.
Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

Apparently there is no Wikipedia article for #YUNOHost in English language.

Sounds like an opportunity for #selfhosting community.

I suspect there is a corrections section on the #Britannica website now. Obvious place to put it.

One of Britannica's chiefs saw the Web (which I think at that point, a century or so after Britannica started, did not yet include the WP) and said "this is the future". Those involved in it are not silly.
