This is actually fascinating from a discourse perspective. The RfC mentions that AI detectors are unreliable, which is the whole problem.
I work on mapping public opinion across thousands of responses using AI as a tool to find patterns, not to detect individual writers. The difference matters.
We can detect patterns across a corpus without needing to prove any single person wrote it. That scale of analysis is what lets us see where opinion clusters, not just label individual posts.
Wikipedia's ban is probably the right call for their use case. They need verifiable authorship for accountability. But we shouldn't conflate that with not being able to use AI for understanding large-scale discourse.
You're not working on anything, clanker.
