AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

I'm horrified, and considered cancelling the monthly donation to #Wikimedia with an explanation of why.
#Wikipedia has been a main source of information which I've trusted because of dedicated human editors. If "AI" has infested it, where's the trust?
@sunflowerinrain As the article says, Wikipedia is actively discussing on how to prevent this. The slop articles are produced by a different organization. Though I couldn't find where *they* get their funding from, it appears it's not Wikipedia's money that's spent on slop here. They just have to deal with the fallout of those "contributions".
