Comment on Readers prefer ChatGPT over Wikipedia

I'm sure most of us are old enough to remember when citing directly from wikipedia was seen as stupid and in poor taste because 'anyone could edit the articles'.
Not saying that it isn't premature to fully trust in LLMs, but it's worth noting that AFAIK, basically every LLM us trained off of wikipedia articles because its free and contains the answers to lots of random human questions

Yep, I recall that. Well, try editing notable articles even with valid improvements, and good luck not having it instantly reverted. I met the weirdest obsessive people on Wikipedia when I tried to participate... just complete wankers on a power trip.
