Why? That’s how they’ve been doing it for 25 years.
Comment on Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 18 hours agoWould be pretty shitty to make sure every time you are editing Wikipedia to disable any AI based grammar/spellcheckers, and not being allowed to use translation tools.
Because those are the two exceptions.

What? spelling/grammar checking and machine translation have been in use for decades on wikipedia, the only difference is that AI has improved the usefulness of the tools for first-pass editing. After generating videos of young girls with gigantic titties it’s the only thing generative AI is actually useful for.

I still think it should be banned. It’s prone to just making shit up. Therefore, it’s not useful for any sort of professional work. If you had just a guy named Al, who would work for free, but sometimes would just make stuff up to make you happy, would you let Al work on important things?

Yeah, but that tendency is directly addressed in the policy.

Spell- and grammar-checking is useless anyway. If you don’t have at least one word underlined with red in every sentence, you’re not writing anything intellectually serious. 🧐
