"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think it's that thing where they do it on purpose so someone corrects it for free and then they steal it.
What do you mean steal it? The article makes it clear that the errors are likely the result of AI hallucinations that arose during translation and that accounts that have submitted multiple articles with these errors will be subject to additional review or banning from this program. It seems likely that underpaid people using AI to translate things aren't paying as much attention to the output as Wikipedia expects.
Nobody is paid for editing Wikipedia, the economic incentive is nonexistent.
(Except for shills/manipulators.)
Read the article.
You should have read the article:
Maybe. Wikipedia editors are their own breed of obsessed.
