What Happened

The site, whose policies are subject to change, has struggled with the issue of AI-generated writing.

Our Take

Finally, someone's pushing back on AI garbage. Wikipedia's right: their value is human curation and fact-checking. Let AI assist editors, sure, but don't let bots write articles.

This guardrail should be everywhere. Wikipedia understood early: trust is dirt cheap to destroy, expensive to rebuild. One bot-written scandal and you lose credibility for years.

What To Do

If you're using Wikipedia data as training material, expect it to get cleaner and more restricted — factor that into your pipeline.
