Wikipedia now needs to have a "WikiProject AI Cleanup". They should send Sam Altman a massive bill for all their extra, unnecessary work.

I wouldn't be surprised if, on balance, cleaning up after Generative AI produced more cost than using Generative AI ever saved. Unfortunately, probably not for the same people.

@festal I almost felt bad for Wikipedia, until I got to the part where it emphasizes that this project is NOT meant to restrict the use of AI in any way.

@donnodubus @festal tbf, that's a separate decision that has to be made in its own process. Someone more in tune with rule-setting procedures on Wikipedia might be able to help us find where that was probably already decided?
