Have you ever wanted to start editing #Wikipedia, but got overwhelmed or felt like you didn't know where to start? Every time I encourage people to start editing, I hear that, so I'm trying to help.

this was inspired by some conversations on bluesky, where people have been concerned that #Wikipedia might become overwhelmed by AI-generated #enshittification. https://bsky.app/profile/molly.wiki/post/3km4ejpq7kt2s

if that worries you too, the number one thing you can do is learn how to edit.

saw some despairing posts this morning on the feed about "if wikipedia falls" to AI it keeps me up at night too. but i have to say: it's not time for despair. wikipedia has been remarkably resilient thus far.

@molly0xfff Is there an explicit policy governing AI-generated content?
@a no policy (yet, i imagine there will be before too long), but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Large_language_models gives an overview of the general approach towards it

There is a policy regarding generated images at commons.
