Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

    Language was fine with Wikipedia and without AI. Really, this is a hit piece to equate Wiki with AI and it’s disingenuous fuckery.

    I thought Wikipedia doesn’t accept anything that seems AI generated? In other words, the worse the article the smaller the chance it will make it on the platform

      This requires someone to spot the AI stuff, but for less common languages, there are fewer people who even can read an article. Thus AI articles in rare languages are more likely to slip through unchecked, and if other AIs are training themselves on wiki articles, this could cause a feedback loop where rare languages become distorted. Something like that I think, didn’t actually read the article sorry.
