Toot

Found while poking around today: the Wikipedia club for cleaning up after AI.

Example: the article Leninist historiography was entirely written by AI and previously included a list of completely fake sources in Russian and Hungarian at the bottom of the page.

I am disappoint.

@blakestacey Super depressed that people were using the rubbish plagiarism machines to edit Wikipedia anyway. I don't understand the point of contributing if you don't think you have anything to contribute without that garbage.

There are the weirdest people who make ‘content’ out there. For example, I saw a ‘how to start the game’ joke guide on steam, so I went to their page to block them (to see if this also blocks the guides from popping up, doesn’t seem so) and they had made hundreds of these guides, all just copy pasted shit. And there were more people doing the exact same thing. Bizarre shit. (Prob related to the thing where you can give people stickers, gamification was a mistake).

@Soyweiser @RubyJones I recently stumbled upon a YouTube channel that is just a guy reading specs of some obscure electronics/computer parts. Not a review, the guy is just reading stuff with no hint of emotion; the guy is on PiP video on the corner, but he might as well be AI generated at this point
