Nope, what? you’re regurgitating what I meant
Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoNope, we all misunderstood what they meant. Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, it is a derivative work. However, you can use the sources provided by the Wikipedia article and use the article itself to understand the topic.
Wikipedia isn’t and was never a primary source of information, and that is by design. You don’t declare information in encyclopedias, you inventory information.

Wikipedia was not then what it is now. You’re spot on with all that, spot on, but in the early days it wasn’t nearly as trustworthy.

Fair enough, I’m not old enough to remember those days of Wikipedia, my memory starts in roughly 2010 wrt Wikipedia use 😅

You can check old versions of any article by clicking ‘history’. And yeah, the standards used to be pretty low.
