Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia

I do have concerns about this but it’s really all about the usage, not the AI itself. Would the AI version be the only version allowed? Would the summaries get created on the fly for every visitor? Would edits to an AI summary be allowed? Would this get applied to and alter existing summaries?

I’m totally fine with LLMs and AI as a stop-gap for missing info or a way to coach or critique a human-written summary, but generally I haven’t seen good results when AI is allowed to do its thing without a human reviewing or guiding the outputs.
