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.

  1. They still need real people to review the content at some point. Even for non-controversial topics, errors can slip through, and it becomes frustrating when no human has taken the time to check it.

  2. I hope people don't start cutting corners. It's important to remember that encyclopedias, including human-created ones like Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica, are tertiary sources. They were never meant to serve as authoritative references on their own. Instead, they're intended as starting points to guide further research. In reality, though, many people rely on them without ever looking at the original sources or taking the effort to verify the information.

If we have the review and self correcting mechanism of Wikipedia, why do we need another site?

Shouldn't Musk be spending his time on business ideas that make money?

There’s this idea that Wikipedia has a left leaning bias.

Will technically it’s true, because reality tend to have a left leaning bias.

He and his ilk want to control the facts and history to fit their preferred narrative.

Not every Wikipedia article is detailed; some niche articles may lack information, and people might find editing them daunting. In theory, an LLM could help fill these gaps.

Is it the wisest use of resources? Maybe not, to be honest. I understand where he's coming from. Encyclopedias are very important tools for humanity. We could argue that, if he really wanted to start an AI-created project, he should have begun with an AI-powered wiki dictionary as an alternative to Wiktionary.
