25 Mind-blowing Reasons This Fucking Sucks
@lolennui holy shit this is a bad idea. This needs regulation. Stuff created by robots needs to be labelled.

@john @lolennui I don't know if you're familiar with how large part of the English Wikipedia was originally written by bots.

I'm not kidding.

@timjan @lolennui in what way? I’m aware of Wikipedia bots, but the ones I’m familiar with are obviously not the sort of thing I’m talking about.
@john @lolennui there's an article about every single named place in the United States. Most of them were started by a bot: I don't know what proportion of them has ever been updated by a human.
Last I really cared, less than half of them had had a human edit. (That was many years ago, though).
@timjan @john @lolennui I checked on this. It was done in 2002, creating an article for each town based on census data, all formatted the same way, just with the numbers that apply to the town filled in. But since then, there have been 20 years of real edits by real people for most of them.
@timjan @lolennui Yeah, I don't think that's really the same thing.
