Wikipedia cracks down on the use of AI in article writing | TechCrunch
"The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited. This new language updates and clarifies previous, vaguer language that stated that LLMs should not be used to generate new Wikipedia articles from scratch."
"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."
Wikipedia has implemented a new policy prohibiting the use of AI-generated text by editors for article content. The updated language clarifies that large language models (LLMs) cannot be used to generate or rewrite articles. However, the policy allows editors to use LLMs for basic copyediting of their own writing, provided that human review is conducted and the LLM does not introduce new content. The decision reflects a majority vote among the community of editors, indicating a cautious approach to AI integration.
