Then skip the AI summary.
Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia

Et tu, Wikipedia?
My god, why does every fucking piece of text suddenly needs to be summarized by AI? It’s completely insane to me. I want to read articles, not their summaries in 3 bullet points. I want to read books, not cliff notes, I want to read what people write to me in their emails instead od AI slop. Not everything needs to be a fucking summary!
It seriously feels like the whole damn world is going crazy, which means it’s probably me… :(

For those of us who do skip the AI summaries it’s the equivalent of adding an extra click to everything.
I would support optional AI, but having to physically scroll past random LLM nonsense all the time feels like the internet is being infested by something equally annoying/useless as ads, and we don’t even have a blocker for it.

I think it would be best if that’s a user setting, like dark mode. It would obviously be a popular setting to adjust. If they don’t do that, there will doubtless be grease monkey and other scripts to hide it.

True!

This ignorance is my biggest pet peeve today. Wikipedia is not targeting you with this but expanding accessibility to people who don’t have the means to digest a complex subject on their lunch break.
TL;DR: check your privilege

Giving people incorrect information is not an accessibility feature

RAG on 2 pages of text does not hallucinate anything though. I literally use it every day.
