“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Such a disingenuous take.

That link clearly states they have no intention of replacing human content with AI.

It goes on to say they plan to use AI for moderation detection and flagging things for human review. That’s not a problem at all.

Oh and accountable Britannica has an entire forward facing AI for users to directly get misinformed by. https://www.britannica.com/chatbot (it’s just a wrapper for ChatGPT).

Using it for "moderation" would be...not sure why they'd need to "detect" moderation.

Perhaps you've phrased this poorly.
