"Text generated by large language models (LLMs) often violates several of Wikipedia's core content policies. For this reason, the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited, save for the exceptions given below."
"Editors are permitted to use LLMs to suggest basic copyedits to their own writing, and to incorporate some of them after human review, provided the LLM does not introduce content of its own."
"Caution is required, because LLMs can go beyond what you ask of them and change the meaning of the text such that it is not supported by the sources cited."
"LLMs are also permitted to help translate articles, so long as they follow the existing site's rules on LLM-assisted translation, which insists that editors only do so if they are already skilled enough in both languages to confirm the accuracy of the machine translation."
Wikipedia has officially banned the use of AI for generating or rewriting articles, following a decisive vote among its volunteer editors. The new policy prohibits text generated by large language models (LLMs) due to violations of core content policies. However, editors can use LLMs for basic copyedits and translations, provided they ensure accuracy. This decision reflects Wikipedia's stance against AI encroachment and follows recent agreements with major AI companies to address costs incurred from training LLMs on its content.
