@ehasbrouck I spend serious time on the Wikipedia daily lists of Articles for Deletion. These “pay for” articles are nearly always easy to spot. Unfortunately there are undoubtedly millions of them on the site and, like spam, there are thousands of ways to create and recreate them.

I receive versions of this about twice a year, usually aimed at my academic (publishing) record. Very annoying…

@ehasbrouck so an AI written spam pitch to create an AI written profile of you on Wikipedia. Sounds perfect. Now we just need an AI to read Wikipedia for us. Hey, that's a good idea! Just need a pitch for funding! Off to chatgpt to write that up....
